No word on whether the Hamas-linked group will be giving any more awards to wife-beheading “moderates” at tonight’s Iftar dinner. Ditto for whether they’ll again take the time to publicly laud MSM outlets for demonizing Israel.
But at a minimum I expect they’ll be giving a hearty “thank you” to Democrat Dave Jones for putting the event together:
Dozens of California lawmakers are expected to gather in the state Capitol this evening for an Iftar dinner – the meal breaking the daily fast for Muslims during the month of Ramadan. In doing so, the politicians are partnering with a group that federal law enforcement officials say is a Hamas-front… Public use of the Capitol’s Eureka Room requires a member of the California Assembly’s sponsorship. Assembly Member Dave Jones, who has spoken at numerous CAIR functions, helped reserve the room, records at the Joint Rules Committee show. Jones did not respond to calls seeking comment. In addition, a message left with Speaker Bass’ office was not returned. A spokesman in the governor’s office referred questions to his office of external affairs, which has not provided additional information about the governor’s apparent endorsement of the dinner.
CAIR has a much longer list of sponsors which lists politicians from both sides of the aisle. Even Schwarzenegger is listed, which was probably news to Schwarzenegger’s office since he won’t be attending.
It’d be interesting to know who is attending, a detail in which MSM outlets seem wholly uninterested. Though in fairness to them, they’ve undoubtedly got bigger concerns than which politicians are chumming it up with which terrorist-linked groups in the California State Capitol building (h/t: Anne).
