US EditionMAGA Furious After Minnesota Democrat Lt. Governor Flanagan Wears Hijab
- Earlier this month, Minnesota Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan visited the Karmel Somali Market, wore a hijab on Somali-language television and opened with `Salam alaikum`, urging support for Somali businesses.
- The Department of Justice alleges at least $250 million was siphoned through fraudulent claims to aid programs, with federal prosecutors estimating losses could exceed $9 billion.
- Conservative commentators immediately assailed the gesture, calling it allegiance to an Islamic voting bloc, while Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer used harsh language urging Flanagan's removal and others labeled the hijab a political uniform and stunt.
- Peggy Flanagan is running for the U.S. Senate seat left by Senator Tina Smith and faces a contested primary including Angie Craig, making the controversy politically significant.
- President Donald Trump publicly lashed out at Somali migrants, while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ordered a third-party audit and paused payments to the 14 programs for 90 days.
