Also at the event,
Minnesota Somali-American Republican activist Mohamed Ahmed delivered a stunning rebuke of the American left that has since gone viral on social media.
“I love Trump,” Ahmed stressed. “And the reason why is because he’s a fighter. That’s it. We like fighters.”
“More importantly, the left left us,” he pointed out. “They left us. Thirty-three percent of our kids in third grade cannot read at grade level.”
He referred to the fact that Minnesota recently fell to the
19th-ranked state for education in the country, after previously being in the top ten.
“We talk about economic conditions here,” Ahmed continued. “Our condition is horrible. We can’t afford anything, as working-class and middle-class people.”
“We love our brothers and sisters who are Democrats but you left us,” he added. “And because the left left us, join the right. Vote for Trump.” He also urged the audience to vote for Republicans running in Congressional races.
Ahmed is the founder and outreach director of Republican People of Color, a political action committee (PAC).
