The Minneapolis Star Tribune offered a stunning rebuke of the House Democratic "Squad" Wednesday by endorsing Rep. Ilhan Omar's primary challenger, Antone Melton-Meaux. The Star Tribune praised Melton-Meaux for bringing a "different sensibility" that's "grounded in helping resolve disputes to move forward" and "building common ground." ILMAN OMAR VASTLY OUTRAISED BY PRIMARY RIVAL AHEAD OF AUGUST PRIMARY"Whether it’s health care, criminal justice or affordable housing, Melton-Meaux appears progressive, but pragmatic," the editorial board explained. The editorial board also knocked Omar's "missteps," including her inflammatory comments about Israel and her campaign-finance issues, notably claims that Omar sent at least $1.6 million to her husband’s political consulting firm. "It is just these kinds of ethical distractions that the Fifth District could do without," the Star Tribune continued.
