Unsurprising: Democrat El-Sayed Back By Terrorism Supporters

I mean, no one is actually surprised by this in the least, are they?

El-Sayed campaign backed by over $100,000 from dozens of members of group with alleged terror ties

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

A Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed, who has made getting “money out of politics” a central campaign rallying cry, has accepted donations from at least 41 individuals who either work for CAIR, formerly worked for CAIR, or have served in leadership positions with the organization.

The donor list includes several of CAIR’s highest-ranking officials, including national Board Chair Manal Fakhoury, national Board Treasurer Eyas Abdeen, national Vice Chair Emad Sabbah, and CAIR-Michigan board member Jukaku Tayeb, El-Sayed’s father-in-law.

Tayeb has been one of the largest financial backers of the super PAC supporting El-Sayed’s campaign and is also part of the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group linked to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood funding, Washington Free Beacon first reported.

One donor, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, listed in FEC records under the name Nehad Hammad, drew national condemnation after saying he was “happy” to see Hamas break out of Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, and arguing Israel “does not have the right to self-defense” as an occupying power.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a lot more with ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc, people who despise Jews and want them killed and Israel wiped off the map. And, let’s be honest, if all this was known prior to the election Democrats still would have voted for Islamist El-Sayed to be their Senate nominee. There are so many that are simply batshit crazy that they support candidates who hate Jews, hate Israel, hate the United States, support Islamic extremism and terrorism, etc.
