One of Kamala Harris’s possible VP choices, Tim Walz, recently altered the Minnesota flag. Many believe it resembles the Somalian flag.
The new flag unveiled by Walz this year features a dark blue outline of Minnesota, a light blue background to pay tribute to the 10,000 lakes, and a white eight-pointed star to apparently represent the state nickname: the North Star State.
However, the flag closely resembles that of the many state flags of Somalia. Minnesota is known for its Somali migrants and dual citizens. In fact, Minnesota is home to the largest Somali-American population in the United States, with an estimated 86,610 Somali-Americans residing in the state as of 2021. Some still have extensive Somali ties, such as Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Kamala Harris’s VP choice, Tim Walz, is the governor who just changed the Minnesota flag so it could resemble the Somalian flag. This man has absolutely ZERO LOYALTY to our country and he says that socialism is a good thing.pic.twitter.com/AqhGDrg0yN
