Ilhan Omar challenger rips 'sidekick' AOC for stoking 'racial grievance' during coronavirus pandemic Republican Muslim refugee Dalia al-Aqidi announces she’s running against Ilhan Omar By Andrew Mark Miller April 3, 2020 - 3:34 PM Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Republican challenger, Dalia al Aqidi, criticized Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for injecting race into the coronavirus pandemic discussion. “COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities,” Ocasio-Cortez, who is a member of "the Squad" along with Omar, said on Twitter. “Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions.” “Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations," she added. Al Aqidi responded by asking for evidence of Ocasio-Cortez’s claim and accusing the New York congresswoman of trying to divide the country. “Where is the evidence for this?” she asked. “AOC and her sidekick Ilhan Omar do nothing but tear at the fabric of America, and stoke racial grievance. It does nothing but set us against each other. We can’t afford that now. Hasn’t America had enough of this?” Al Aqidi, an Iraqi refugee, is one of several Republicans challenging Omar for her seat in Congress. A pollconducted last year showed Omar’s approval rating sits at 25% compared with a 34% disapproval rating. “This is a very serious time for our country,” al Aqidi told Washington Examiner. “The unemployment numbers are staggering, and we’re facing the prospect of losing a massive chunk of America’s small businesses by the time this is over. It’s no time for fanatical, left-wing nonsense, and SJW word salads." “Omar and AOC and the rest of the radical Democrats are always pitting Americans against each other by race,” she continued. “They want minorities in the United States to be full of rage and hate toward our fellow citizens. AOC’s tweet is literally insane. It was always harmful to America for people to believe these crazy things, but now, it’s dangerous.” Ocasio-Cortez has been a consistent critic of President Trump’s response to the coronavirus and was also highly critical of the relief package passed by Congress and signed by Trump. “What did the Senate majority fight for?!” Ocasio-Cortez said on the House floor. “One of the largest corporate bailouts with as few strings as possible in American history. Shameful! The greed of that fight is wrong for crumbs for our families.”
