Cicely Davis, the Chair of Blexit Minnesota is challenging Democrat-Socialist squad member and known anti-semite Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her seat in Minnesota’s fifth district and she has drawn a stark contrast to the self-proclaimed “starter of fires.” as a woman who can bring unity, strength, security, and prosperity back to the people of Minneapolis. Davis joined Matt Holloway for The #HollowNet on MoJo5.0 Radio to discuss her candidacy and resetting the broken narrative of identity politics.
Ilhan Omar called herself a “starter of fires.”
She wants to burn down OUR city & OUR country.
She wants to dismantle the police & to destroy Law and Order.
The people of Minneapolis & America deserve better than her.
Together we can STOP her ➡️ https://t.co/S24WJiPu60 pic.twitter.com/FZCbBNsxV4

Battling Ilhan Omar And The Flames Of Black Lives Matter
Minnesota, as many people know, some people don’t, is where the hammer of the George Floyd protests and the Black Lives Matter movement fell the hardest and struck business owners, communities, and individual people in their residences, burning cities, and burning precincts. That’s a hell of a situation to walk into as a Republican candidate. I mean, what kind of blowback is Davis looking at right now? What is she seeing as far as support on the ground? What is she seeing as far as really the vehemence that has to be coming from, from that outlier of the left?
“What I’m seeing is, and I’m having conversations with moderates and liberals mostly because they’re the majority of the district. And they’re telling me that, they recognize finally that, um, they voted someone in who is an absolute fire starter, as she said in her own words, that she’s more interested in political theater than she is in actually representing them.
So it’s interesting that this socialist Marxist agenda actually always ends up, negatively affecting or impacting those, the very community that they say they, hold so dear and want to protect, um, communities of color. And so when you talk about those businesses that were owned by people of color, um, went out of business, were burned to the ground and they haven’t recovered. When you talk about corporations who are, entering this mass Exodus out of Minneapolis and that therefore we lose jobs.
You talk, talk about people who don’t feel safe, who are, who feel unsafe, leaving their home. They’re held hostage in their own homes, in their neighborhoods, not wanting to stand at the bus, stop with their children or go to their grocery store. It’s just a time for a common-sense reckoning. And so that’s what I’m hearing. People are tired and they are fed up. Morale is low, we wanna get back to being the star of the north. And we recognize that it’s these policies, um, that have rendered us without. We have, we’ve been rendered afraid, we are, um, you know, morale is low and how do we get that back? We have to find a champion who can actually to bring the people back, and that’s me. And that’s what I plan to do for them.”
Davis On Rebuking Identity Politics and Leftist Labels
Matt and Cicely also discussed the pervasiveness and disturbing implications of the left setting the narrative which results in conservatives like her and Candice Owens, Billy Prempeh, Brandon Tatum et. al, being referred to in the media (yours truly included) as “Black Conservatives”.
Matt asked, “I know your, your state chair of Blexit from Minnesota, I believe. And we, we saw this really kickoff in earnest in the last five years now, of course, there have been black conservatives going back all the way to Colin Powell and Thomas Sowell, who really, you know, were the, were the pioneer years of, I think the last couple of generations, but now we’re seeing 20 somethings, 30 somethings, 40 somethings getting into the political field and establishing and, and saying that conservativism, despite how the left throws identity politics in our face all day long, conservativism conservative thought, liberal libertarianism has no color that it, it is, it is not a, a whites only club that, that right tokenism shouldn’t exist.
That I, I, I yearn for the day when I just go, you know, America first conservative Cecily Davis, instead of that, that headline writing itself as ‘‘Black conservative, Cicely Davis’, and, and I, I pointed that out to myself and I was angry with myself that I actually had to cave to that identity politics for that headline to get noticed, and I hate doing it, and I don’t wanna do it anymore.”
“So where, where, where do you see this leading?” he asked. “Do, do you think there’s hope in the, in the next five, ten years of conservatives like yourself pushing back hard against that image, that conservatism has a color and that libertarianism has a color?”
“Absolutely. And, and wouldn’t be in it if I didn’t think there was hope. Um, but what you’re talking about is, is really amazing. I’m so glad you brought that up because this, again tells you who’s ahead of messaging, who actually is leading, um, the campaign, um, on politics today. It’s all about identity politics. That means liberals are ahead of this. Um, you know, it, and so they are defining, they’re putting out the terms they’re ahead of marketing. And so we need to get ahold of that and recognize that we are Americans and that, um, and I understand the significance, you know, I think that for me, when I’m amongst my family members, obviously we don’t point out the fact that we’re black, but I like to remind them that I’m actually returning to our original voting party, which is the Republican party, you know? Um, but when it comes to America, my goodness, I see red, white, and blue, and that’s the side that we need to be on.
Right? And so getting that return means that we need to take, get a hold and get ahead on the marketing and the Def who defines the definition. And right now they’re in the lead and we need to take control of that. Republicans need to be better. We simply need to step up and get better and really make sure that we’re successful in pushing the fact that we are red, white, and blue, right. And it’s individual blacks and whites and, and Browns that make that beautiful red, white, and blue, um, consistency. But, but we’re red, white, and blue first. And I love that message. And, and it’s absolutely mine and it’s an Anthem.”
One thing is for certain, the winds of change are blowing strong in Minnesota as the people wake up and realize the Democrat-Socialists do not have their interests at heart, and Ilhan Omar is in trouble.
