(Washington Examiner) Congressional Democrats pocketed campaign donations from a leader within an anti-Israel organization that has long been accused of being linked to Palestinian terrorism, records show.
Over the last two decades, Hussam Ayloush has sprinkled tens of thousands of dollars combined into state and federal committees, including those for Democratic members of Congress, such as “Squad” Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Cori Bush (D-MO), according to campaign finance disclosures reviewed by the Washington Examiner. Ayloush, who once argued Israel “does not have the right to defend itself” against violence, is CEO of the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, a group the White House recently disavowed over its justification of the Oct. 7 Hamas-led terrorist attack against the Jewish state.
