Lisa Demuth ad criticizes Klobuchar, identifies Somalis

It isn't surprising that this Sahsn Journal article criticizes GOP gubernatorial nominee Lisa Demuth for being a racist. According to Sahan Journal, Lisa Demuth ran an accurate ad. First, the article said "A campaign ad by Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth calling out 'Somali gangs' and singling out a Somali American man’s alleged planned attack at the Mall of America is drawing condemnation from some community members and political analysts." It's been well-documented that the gangs that engaged in a gunfight outside the Eden Prairie High School Homecoming Game were Somali gangs. It isn't racist to tell the truth about who's shooting lethal firearms outside a high school football stadium.

The Sahan Journal reported that "The ad and others like it prompted Imam Hassan Dhooye, who leads Al-Hikmah Islamic Center in Minneapolis, to denounce the rhetoric to his many social media followers. 'I want to name this for what it is: explicit racial attacks in paid political form,' he wrote on Oct. 19. 'This community did not come to Minnesota to become a campaign prop. We came to work, worship, raise families, and contribute, and by every measure, that is exactly what we have done.'"

The problem is that the Imam's list isn't exhaustive. Imam Dhooye's list didn't mention that it's well-documented fact that Somali gangs sometimes engage in gang violence. Amy Klobuchar knows this but won't talk about it because she'd rather get the Somalis' votes than keep Minnesotans safe. Speaker Demuth spoke to Trey Gowdy about her governing priorities in this interview:

Speaker Demuth isn't afraid of naming the problem. When it's Somali gang violenc, that's what Speaker Demuth calls it, When people are defrauding Medicaid, Speaker Demuth calls it out. When politicians call don't do what they said they'd done, Speaker Demuth has her ad people put together an ad like this: Amy Klobuchar is friendly (except to her staffers) but she hasn't fixed anything major in her 20 years in the Senate. Sen. Klobuchar talks a good game but she's worthless at fixing things. When she first ran for the Senate, Sen. Klobuchar said she'd fix health care. Now she's running for governor. She's still promising that she'll fix health care:
As Governor, Amy Klobuchar will work to lower costs that have been going through the roof across the country, essentials like health care, housing, child care, and utility bills. She’ll build on her years of fighting, and beating, Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices for Minnesotans. She’ll take action to build more homes for Minnesotans, supporting first-time homebuyers, renters, and growing families who need more space.
It's noteworthy that Sen. Klobuchar has had 16 years to fix health care. It hasn't happened. That isn't a leader. That's a busybody career politician that talks a good game but doesn't fix anything. We don't need another Tim Walz-type do-nothing that talks a good game. We need a governor that fixes things.

Finally, what has she accomplished? Has she accomplished anything noteworthy? If you think she has accomplished anything, name it.
