WATCH: Minnesota Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan Wears Hijab to Pander to Somalis

2025-12-27

Tweeted video of the Lt. Governor enveloped in a black headscarf as she makes her little speech can be seen at the link.

[GatewayPundit] Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan appeared in a video wearing a hijab while addressing members of the Somali community, gushing about how they’re woven into the "fabric" of the state.

Flanagan, of course, is not Muslim.

Call me when she has a cl!torectomy using a pull tab as a scalpel.

Courtesy of Angang Snolutle3678, the NY Post has more photos of the lady in costume-like attire, adding:

At one point in her Karmel Mall appearance, Flanagan gestured to the woman standing to her immediate left, Nimco Ahmed, the Somali-American state director of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party in Minnesota, calling her a friend of 25 years.

Ahmed has been quoted in Time magazine and Minnesota Public Radio articles as a “friend” and acquaintance of Somali men who returned to their native country in the 2010s to join al-Shabaab — a terror group that later received millions of the state’s welfare dollars due to the fraud scheme.

In 2011, Ahmed told Minnesota Public Radio News about the “young men leaving here, committing suicide bombings, killing innocent people, and they think they’re doing the right thing.”

“That’s the thing that’s unbelievable to me. So what’s not possible anymore?” she asked.

Ahmed also told Time two years later: “We feel doubly victimized, to lose our children and brothers to terrorism and to be painted as terrorists ourselves.”

As the poet said, the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. After all, who reared those children and brothers?

Flanagan is one of three declared candidates — along with Rep. Angie Craig (D-Minn.) and political outsider Billy Nord — facing off for the 2026 Senate Democratic primary nomination in the state.

Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) created the vacancy by choosing not to run for re-election.

Emmer claimed both Flanagan and Craig were “battling it out in an attempt to win over the far-left radicals in the Twin Cites.”

“While the Lt. Governor was showing her support for small businesses and communities being terrorized by ICE, she was handed a scarf by a friend and briefly wore it out of respect,” said Alexandra Fetissoff, a spokesperson for Flanagan.
