Ilhan Omar takes credit for a bill she voted against?

I looked up the original op ed that Roxxane O'Brien wrote about Don Samuels, insisting he had no right to run. Evidently, O'Brien believes that Omar should not have to face a primary challenger.

Among the points that O'Brien raised in support of Omar was this:

This month, she successfully brought over $17 million home to the district — including funding for food entrepreneurship on the North Side, rebuilding on Lake Street, job training for green energy jobs and more.

Is this not the Infrastructure bill that Omar voted against?

which is my right as a resident of MN-05. I want someone who votes for Democratic legislation.

Do you live in this district? If so, you can go ahead and vote for her. If not, you'll have to leave the election to those who do.

Voting along with MTG and the other scum of the earth GOPers was the last straw for me, and I've given her a lot of straws.

I just didn't vote on that office.
Any opinions on Samuels?

They show her to the far LEFT on many issues. Maybe she was wanting MORE of something and her challenges were not on bills in danger of not passing.

Not sure what is going on there.
