Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar to hold Minneapolis rally

White House hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will hold a rally with freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis next month. 

“Sanders and Omar, together with local leaders and activists, will rally to unite supporters of all backgrounds around the fight for economic, environmental and racial justice, and need to take on corporate greed and the corruption of Donald Trump,” Sanders’s campaign announced in an email Friday.

Omar endorsed Sanders amid the slate of 2020 Democratic candidates last week, confirming her support in a tweet alongside fellow progressive Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).

Proud to endorse @SenSanders for President, glad that @AOC and @RashidaTlaib are on board too. It’s time https://t.co/2mAmXJiKxv

“Bernie is leading a working class movement to defeat Donald Trump that transcends generation, ethnicity, and geography,” Omar said in a statement.

{mosads}Ocasio-Cortez also threw her support behind Sanders at a rally earlier this month, telling a crowd of supporters “it wasn’t until I heard of a man by the name of Bernie Sanders that I began to question and assert and recognize my inherent value as a human being that deserves health care, housing, education and a living wage.”

Meanwhile, Tlaib is due to hold her own rally with Sanders on Sunday. 

President Trump attacked Omar at his own Minnesota rally earlier this month, accusing her of being an “America-hating socialist.” Omar later tweeted the attack, saying “His hate is no match for our movement. Stand with me by donating now.”

At his rally just now, Trump called me an “America-hating socialist” and a “disgrace.” He shouted xenophobic conspiracy theories about me. He scolded my district for voting for me.
