A former beauty queen who represented Iraq in the Miss Universe pageant and fled war-torn Iraq in search of a better life in the United States hopes to run for Congress in California.

Twenty years after the start of the Iraq War, Sarah Idan, a self-described feminist and human rights activist, seeks to challenge what she believes to be the Democrats’ greatest weakness: their folly.

Idan, 33, has spoken out against the far left of the Democratic Party and has been outspoken in criticizing Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar for her comments about the Jewish people and Israel.

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

“It would be the exact opposite of Ilhan Omar. I am a Democrat and a liberal, but I do not think like you, I do not hate this country, ”he explained.

Idan aims to challenge what she perceives to be the far left and has sparked voices in the Democratic Party.

Idan also expressed his disgust at what he sees as the party’s obsession with so-called “white privilege” and its failure to address public safety concerns and rising crime levels in Los Angeles, where he currently lives.

Born in Baghdad in 1990, Idan was the second youngest of five children.

His father was a military engineer for Saddam Hussein’s Ba’ath Party, but privately his views at home did not reflect that party line. The family effectively had to ‘live as hostages under Saddam’.

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

“We couldn’t say anything against him. I learned that everything Saddam taught me was a lie,’ he told the New York Post.

On her 18th birthday, Idan volunteered as an interpreter with the US Army in Iraq.

She was able to leave Iraq for the United States in 2010 with a green card provided by the military, and then became a US citizen in 2015. The family was left behind, though they eventually left Iraq a few years ago as well.

Idan believes that her difficult upbringing gives her a unique perspective on the American Dream.

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

Once a beauty queen, she represented Iraq in the Miss Universe competition in 2017 and even faced death threats after befriending and taking a selfie with Miss Israel.

Idan now plans to run for Congress and root out the ‘wacky far-left and woke voices’ in the Democratic Party.

‘A voice is missing. There’s the immigrant who fucking suffered and came here and lived the American dream,” says Idan.

She believes the party needs fresh young blood to denounce what she describes as ‘communists pushing crazy politics’.

‘We need new people in office to eliminate the communists. I may have been born in Iraq, but my soul is American.’

She believes that the Democratic Party must address the arousing voices that have too powerful and influential a voice, while the party must also address public safety concerns and rising crime levels in major cities across the country.
