This flyer was apparently slipped under peoples’ doors in Cedar Riverside – a Minneapolis neighborhood with a large Somali population – “an hour before the caucuses” this past Tuesday:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Give it a read.<\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but to me it reads like someone who wants to caricature what they think an ignorant Republican might write like (and who perhaps isn’t nearly as literate as they think they are, themselves).<\/p>\n

And I’m trying to wrap my heads around the idea of a bunch of (clearly white) bigots running around Cedar Riverside stuffing things “under peoples’ doors”…<\/p>\n

…according to the person who posted the offending flyer…:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…who, as luck would have it,\u00a0just happens\u00a0<\/em>to work for a DFL-affiliated Somali community group.<\/p>\n

Slipping under doors?\u00a0 Not distributed at caucus sites?<\/p>\n

I dunno.\u00a0 Seems fishy to me.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:\u00a0 \u00a0Suffice to say, I have my questions:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Five’ll get you ten I get blocked forthwith.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 2:\u00a0 And one day later, it’s in an Ilhan Omar fundraising letter<\/a>?\u00a0 \u00a0That was quick, verifying it’s not a hoax and all. .<\/p>\n

Nothing fishy at all.<\/p>\n
