A beauty queen who represented Iraq in Miss Universe 2017 is now looking to represent Californians in Congress, telling "Fox & Friends First" on Monday that she's eyeing a run for office and is vowing to take on the "woke" wing of her own party in the process.
Sarah Idan, born in Baghdad, lived under Saddam Hussein's rule and served as a translator for the U.S. Army during the Iraq War before she fled the country and later became a U.S. citizen. Though the California Democrat is pushing back against the extremist wing of her own party, she wants to make clear that she still aligns with traditional liberalism.
"Let me be clear, I do stand for old-fashioned, classic liberal values, but when I see people like Ilhan Omar, AOC and ‘The Squad’ who are trying to pull our party to the far left, I have to say something," she said.
"Sadly, these far-left voices, like ‘The Squad,’ they are very loud, and they do talk a lot. They get a lot of attention from the media, but I do believe there are a lot of Democrats who don't agree with them, who love this country and want to make it better."
