BREAKING: Niqab-clad former longtime Democrat LaKeshia M. Alston poses in her official candidate filing photo for North Carolina State Senate District 22 — standing between the U.S. and North Carolina flags. This woman was a Democrat voter through 2024, switched parties at the last minute, ran unopposed, and now has the Republican nomination locked up. The Durham County Board of Elections originally posted her full niqab photo before pulling it amid the backlash. Critics are sounding the alarm: Is this a genuine conversion or a Trojan horse for Sharia-influenced values in the GOP? Party-switching opportunists in full Islamic face-covering while waving the American flag? This isn't "diversity" — this is exactly how cultural and religious shifts undermine secular governance, women's rights, and the republic from within. We cannot afford to be naive. Transparency and loyalty to American values first.
