Fateh False Claims of Being Endorsed by the Minneapolis DFL
Fateh False Claims of Being Endorsed by the Minneapolis DFL

An administrative law judge found probable cause that Fateh campaign is breaking the law by falsely claiming that he has been endorsed by the DFL. Fatah has been in full revolt of the DFL by continuing to have lawn signs and handing out literature that claims he was endorsed by the DFL when the DFL revoked the endorsement that was fraudulently awarded.  It is a violation of state law to falsely claim of support or endorsement by a major political party and Fatah is doing exactly this.

  1. From an email from All of Mpls, below. Not one of them cares about how dirty Fateh is. This is a terrible look for Mpls, and as a Democrat, a terrible look for us….all around the state, and even the country.

    Excerpt..
    “His list of supporters includes Council Members Chughtai, Wonsley, Chowdhury, Chavez, and City Council President Elliott Payne. In addition, mayoral candidates Jazz Hampton and DeWayne Davis have both campaigned with Fateh and Council Member Katie Cashman recently held a joint door knock with Fateh. These are not the kind of leaders that Minneapolis needs. “
