(Free Beacon) Speaking to a reporter in March 2019, Rep. Susan Wild called herself “a very pro-Israel member of Congress” who recognizes the “importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship.” But days earlier, the Pennsylvania Democrat spoke at the annual banquet for a prominent anti-Israel organization alongside a left-wing pundit whom CNN had just fired for advocating violence against the Jewish state.
Wild attended the annual fundraiser for the Philadelphia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations on March 9, 2019, according to photos of the event. Wild spoke before Marc Lamont Hill, who received the “Malcolm X Justice and Freedom Award” after his high-profile firing from CNN months earlier. The liberal network canned Hill in November 2018 after he called for “a free Palestine from the river to the sea,” a slogan for the destruction of Israel.
