(Fox) A group of Republican senators are raising alarms about President Biden’s nominee for a top Small Business Administration (SBA) position.
Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, led a letter with seven of his GOP colleagues to Senate Small Business Committee Chairman Ben Cardin, D-Md., calling for another hearing on Dilawar Syed, Biden’s nominee for SBA deputy administrator.
The lawmakers cited Syed’s board membership with Emgage Action, the political action committee arm of Muslim advocacy group Emgage USA, saying the group is “vocally anti-Israel.”
“While his membership was disclosed to the committee prior to his nomination hearing on April 21, the political organization has since made alarming statements that have members of your committee and the small business community that we represent seriously concerned,” the letter reads.
