This is disgusting, John.
Far-right Florida Governor and recent GOP presidential dropout Ron DeSantis attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar on Twitter earlier today:
It’s yet another in a long line of racist, xenophobic attacks against Ilhan, the first Somali American and one of the only two Muslim women serving in Congress.

Fun Fact: Ron DeSantis’ donors have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to AIPAC’s Super PAC, the United Democracy Project.

Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time. There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment. |
