I don't trust this woman and I don't like her. She is 100% definitely anti-Israel and wasn't/isn't afraid to show it and say it. And now she wants to help raise money for a group that even our own congress looked to cut aid to? If supporting one group who helps terror, who knows who else this group uses the money to prop up?

Call me racist, I really don't give a crap. I don't like having a muslim in congress that seems to be quite loyal to many muslim groups that are attached out of the USA.

Rep. Ilhan Omar secretly fundraising with Islamic groups tied to supporting terrorism, report says

'I just wonder what is Rep. Omar saying to a group of Islamic supporters that she feels is so secretive that she cannot say it to the American people, as a whole?'

Controversial freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has been secretly fundraising for Islamic activist groups with ties to the support of terrorism, the Washington Free Beacon revealed Friday.

What are the details?

Omar recently spoke at an event in Florida for Islamic Relief USA, which the Free Beacon reported has "long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel."

In 2017, Congress sought to cut taxpayer funds from going to Islamic Relief over concerns it was providing assistance to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Meanwhile, Omar will speak at an event in California this weekend for CAIR-CA PAC, an organization associated with the Council on American Islamic Relations.

CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Case in which HLF and five of its leaders were convicted of providing material support to Hamas, a known terrorist organization. The United Arab Emirates has even designated CAIR as a terrorist organization.

Why is this significant?

What is most concerning about Omar's speeches is that they are shrouded in secrecy, the Free Beacon reported. Not only is video of her speech last month not available, but local media told the Free Beacon Islamic Relief USA organizers barred press from its event.

The mystery of Omar's speeches is significant because the Minnesota Democrat has become a lightning rod for controversy over her repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes.

More from the Free Beacon:

The content of these speeches, given to predominately Muslim audiences, remains unknown, prompting some of Omar's critics to express concern about the type of rhetoric she is using before these paying audiences, particularly in light of the lawmaker's repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes in public.

Omar's appearance at these closed-door forums is raising eyebrows in the pro-Israel world due to her repeated and unapologetic public use of anti-Semitic stereotypes accusing Jewish people of controlling foreign policy and politics. With Omar's popularity skyrocketing on the anti-Israel left, it appears her rhetoric is translating into fundraising prowess.

Congress Seeks to Cut U.S. Aid to Islamic Charity Tied to Terror

Measure would ban U.S. funding of Islamic Relief Worldwide

A new congressional measure seeks to cut all U.S. funding for an Islamic charity that has been banned in some countries for providing assistance to Hamas and other terror-tied organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

The new measure, which was proposed as an amendment to Congress's yearly appropriations bill, which sets U.S. expenditures, would ban any taxpayer funds from being provided to Islamic Relief Worldwide, or IRW, a global charitable organization that has been linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

IRW is banned in some Middle Eastern countries for its alleged support of terror organizations, though the United States has continued to provide taxpayer funds to the organization under the Obama administration, sparking outrage among some lawmakers and regional experts.

The move to ban U.S. funding to IRW was authored by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who told the Free Beacon that the U.S. taxpayers should not be giving to any organization tied to terror movements, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, which continues to support extremist activities.
