Video Description
Minnesota Lt. Gov. and U.S. Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan is facing fresh controversy after a video showed her wearing a hijab on Somali TV during a visit to a Somali market — a move that has drawn sharp criticism amid a sprawling fraud scandal linked to some members of the state’s Somali community. Flanagan, a Catholic running in a high-stakes Democratic primary, says Minnesota’s Somali community is “part of the fabric of the state.” But critics — including GOP leaders — are calling her appearance a political stunt, arguing she is pandering in the wake of one of the largest pandemic-era fraud investigations in U.S. history. The scandal — once estimated at $9 billion in fraudulent claims involving federal meal and social service programs — has put huge pressure on local leaders and drawn national attention.
