(Free Beacon) Rep. Ro Khanna, the Silicon Valley Democrat eyeing a presidential run in 2028, told the Washington Free Beacon last week he planned to reject Hamas at a controversial Arab-American political convention in Michigan this weekend. He didn’t, railing instead against Israel, AIPAC, and “right-wing” media in front of an audience that also heard from supporters of the terrorist group.
Khanna faced scrutiny last week ahead of an appearance at ArabCon, which featured multiple speakers who have praised Hamas and Hezbollah or made anti-Semitic remarks. Responding to those concerns, Khanna said he has “never been to a conference where I agree with every speaker,” but that “speaking at ArabCon is important.”
“I will discuss my efforts to recognize a Palestinian state without Hamas as part of a two-state solution,” Khanna told the Free Beacon.
