John,

In yet another ugly attack on progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar, Republican CNN pundit Scott Jennings called her “a public relations agent for Hamas” with zero pushback from the other commentators or host on Wednesday.

This is blatant Islamophobia, and it must not be normalized or accepted.

Will you show Ilhan you have her back in this moment and help us re-elect her this year by splitting $5 between her campaign and Justice Democrats?

These disgusting Islamophobic and racist comments came with no correction or condemnation from CNN. The news network should issue a formal apology to Ilhan, and Scott Jennings should be fired.

The normalization of Islamophobia like this is what leads to anti-Muslim hate crimes, just like the spike in anti-Muslim bigotry we witnessed after 9/11.

As one of only three Muslim Americans and the only Somali American serving in Congress, Ilhan — an outspoken proponent of peace who calls out the human rights abuses of many countries — is being wrongfully attacked based on her faith and ethnicity. And with right-wing groups like AIPAC targeting her House seat, we know this dangerous rhetoric is far from over.

Ilhan is one of the most vulnerable members of the Squad running for re-election this year — show her your support by rushing a grassroots contribution now →

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
