*Muslim army veteran Shukri Abdirahman is running as a Republican to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and she joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss why she taking aim at the ‘Squad’ member.
Abdirahman is all about funding the police, securing American borders and she’s not down with Omar’s far-left agenda when it comes to illegal immigration. Abdirahman is running to represent the 5th Congressional District as a Republican, Fox News reports.
“I gave my life to this country for 10 and a half years, I put my life on the line for the ideals of America, the America that I got used to, the America that I was proud to put my life on the line and I came here legally as a refugee,” said Abdirahman, a Somali refugee.
“Now you have open borders that we don’t know who’s crossing, no one is getting vetted. We don’t know how dangerous those people are to our livelihoods,” she said.Â
“I don’t believe that vetting is racist,” Abdirahman stated. “I don’t believe securing our borders are racist. People need to come the right way and our nation needs to be kept safe.”
“All our politicians, government leaders have a responsibility to protect our sovereign nation and our people,” she continued.
In a post on Twitter, she wrote, “I have never forgotten and never will forget what America gave to me. I took an oath when I became a citizen, and I took an oath when I joined the U.S. Armed Forces. Those oaths I took both ended in “so help me God” and neither of them expire.”

Omar announced her plans to seek reelection in the 2022 midterm elections earlier this week.
