‘How inconsiderate of me!’: Omar-backed Mayor faces heat over sarcastic apology for Somalia trip

Minnesota St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed is facing intense online backlash after posting a sarcastic "apology" defending her Fourth of July weekend trip to Somalia, where she met Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The visit, which coincided with America's 250th Independence Day celebrations, quickly became a flashpoint on social media. In her response, Mohamed mocked the criticism with remarks like, "How inconsiderate of me! How treacherous…," while arguing that the backlash was fueled by anti-Somali sentiment and that stories mentioning Somali people generate more clicks and views. Her comments sparked a wave of reactions from supporters and critics alike.
