(Daily Record) Three state Democrats, each of whom is a member of the Maryland Legislative Jewish Caucus, are pushing to remove American Muslim activist Zainab Chaudry from a state hate crimes commission for social media posts some have said are anti-Semitic.
Late last year, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown suspended Chaudry, who is the Maryland office executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, for two weeks after a series of anti-Israel social media posts, including one she shared that compared Israel to Nazi Germany with the comment, “That moment when you become what you hated most.”
Brown chairs the Maryland Commission on Hate Crimes Response and Prevention and is responsible for appointing its 22 members, though he doesn’t have the authority to remove — or suspend — a commissioner before the end of their four-year term.
