A former beauty queen who represented Iraq at the Miss Universe pageant and fled war-torn Iraq in search of a better life in America is hoping to run Congress Art California.

Twenty years after the start of the Iraq War, Sarah Idon, a self-proclaimed feminist and human rights activist, seeks to challenge what she believes is the Democrats’ greatest weakness — their misery.

33-year-old Idan spoke against the extreme left Democratic Party and openly criticized the representatives of the state of Minnesota. Ilkhan Omar for her comments about the Jewish people and Israel.

“I do not support your anti-American, anti-Semitic Muslim Brotherhood agenda, which uses this democracy to further your…Islamic Socialism goals of dividing and weakening our country,” Idan tweeted in 2019.

“I would be just the opposite of Ilkhan Omar. I’m a Democrat and a liberal, but I don’t think like you – I don’t hate this country,” she explained.

Idon has also expressed distaste for what she sees as the party’s obsession with so-called “white privilege” and its failure to address public safety concerns and rising crime in Los Angeles, where she now lives.

Idan was born in Baghdad in 1990 and was the second youngest of five children.

Her father was a military engineer for Saddam Hussein’s Baath party, but personally, her views at home did not reflect that party line. In fact, the family had to “live as hostages under Saddam”.

She describes life as extremely difficult under a brutal dictator with limited access to food, water and electricity. Politically, the family was constantly afraid of accusations of “disloyalty”.

“We could not say anything against him. I learned that everything Saddam taught me was a lie,” she said New York Post.

After the 2017 pageant, Idan said the organizers of the Miss Iraq pageant threatened to take away her crown – unless she took down a photo of herself posing with Miss Israel. She refused to do it

Idan, 33, has opposed the far-left forces of the Democratic Party and has openly criticized Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments about the Jewish people and Israel, calling her “anti-American” and “anti-Semitic.”

The two women got into a spat on Twitter after Idon’s comments in 2019

At the time, the Minnesota congresswoman responded on Twitter: “Hey, I could be wrong, but I don’t think you are a resident of #MN05 and therefore should not be your representative.”

When she turned 18, Idan worked as a volunteer translator for the US Army in Iraq.

She was able to leave Iraq for the United States in 2010 on a green card issued by the military, and later in 2015 she received American citizenship. His family remained, although they too had left Iraq several years earlier.

Aidan credits her difficult upbringing with giving her a unique perspective on the American Dream.

“They hate it when I say something good about this country, when I say I love it and I have rights here. They want to hear you say, “No, it’s a horrible country, a horrible government, and we have no rights.”

A former beauty queen, she represented Iraq at the 2017 Miss Universe pageant and even faced death threats after befriending Miss Israel and taking a selfie with her.

Eadon now plans to run for Congress to root out the “crazy far-left and woke voices” in the Democratic Party.

“There is not enough voice. Here’s an immigrant who suffered, came here and lived the American dream,” says Idan.

She believes the party needs fresh young blood to challenge what she calls “communists who are pursuing crazy policies.”

“We need fresh people to eliminate the communists. I may have been born in Iraq, but my soul is American.”

She believes the Democratic Party needs to deal with the awakened voices that have too strong and influential a voice, while the party also needs to directly address public safety issues and rising crime rates in major cities across the country.

“There is not enough voice. Here’s an immigrant who suffered, came here and lived the American dream,” says Idan.

Eadon says she believes the Democratic Party needs fresh, young blood to call out what she describes as “communists running crazy policies.”
