Fact check: AIPAC was not involved in Omar’s Minnesota primary


The claim that AIPAC supported Ilhan Omar’s primary race opponent, Don Samuels, is false. While there were allegations that Samuels courted AIPAC support, both the group and a spokesperson for Samuels confirmed that they were not involved in the race. AIPAC does publicly list their supported candidates, and Samuels was not included. This claim arose after Omar defeated Samuels in the August 13 primary election, but AIPAC had actually stayed out of the Minnesota race. Omar had accused Samuels of seeking AIPAC support, prompting a response from Samuels denying any endorsement or financial support from the organization. It is important to fact-check claims involving politicians, as false assertions can spread rapidly. Despite previous debunked claims against Omar, it is crucial to verify information before sharing it. USA TODAY reached out to Omar’s office and users who shared the post for comment, with one X user acknowledging that AIPAC had no direct involvement in the campaign. It is essential to rely on credible sources and verify information to prevent the spread of misinformation.
