I don't know much about her but yes we should be wary if any radical Muslims start getting elected to office to.
She's for a 90% tax rate on the wealthy... so someone who immigrates to the US with nothing, is demanding much more than she ever had in her home country. Why is she trying to change our country? She ought to go back to Somalia and fix her own country.
