One of the conservative’s favorite House member is returning to the House soon. Darrell Issa retired from congress after his district became wildly liberal in the 49th District. he will now be running in the 50th District after disgraced Duncan Hunter was forced to resign from congress. The 50th district is very heavily Republican.
Issa finished second in what is called a jungle primary where the top two vote getters square off in the general election regardless of party affiliation. Although the Democrat outpolled Issa, there was only one serious Democratic candidate but two serious Republicans and a fw other also ran Republicans. If you combine their vote total, they smash the Democrat by a wide margin.
Democrat Ammar Campa-Najjar is the grandson of a famous Palestinian terrorist.
But the following facts are beyond dispute:
- Campa-Najjar’s grandfather, Muhammad Yousef al-Najjar (Abu Yousef), was a major Palestinian terrorist, responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. He was also a senior aide to Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat. He was killed by Israeli commandos but continues to receive posthumous honors, like other terrorists, from the Palestinian Authority.
- Campa-Najjar denounced his grandfather in 2018. However, in 2015, he called him a “legend” in a post on Instagram. When Breitbart News drew attention to the post, Campa-Najjar deleted it, without explanation.
- Campa-Najjar changed his name legally from “Ammar Yasser Najjar” to “Ammar Joseph Campa-Najjar” after the California primary. His name had appeared on the primary ballot as “Ammar Campa-Najjar.”
- Campa-Najjar removed the surname “Najjar” from his campaign committee, as filed with the FEC.
- Campa-Najjar’s campaign donated $650 to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in 2017. As Breitbart News has noted: “In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed).”
- Campa-Najjar has received nearly $9,000 in donations from CAIR officials, which he refuses to return.
- Campa-Najjar received a $250 donation in 2017 from a Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations.
