Democratic freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) has been holding a series of secret fundraisers with groups that have been tied to the support of terrorism, appearances that have been closed to the press and hidden from public view.
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 recently spoke in Florida at a private event hosted by Islamic Relief, a charity organization long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel. Over the weekend, she will appear at another private event in California that is hosted by CAIR-CA PAC, a political action committee affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR a group that was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in a massive terror-funding incident.
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.
It remains unclear what Omar has told these audiences in her private talks. Washington Free Beaconattempts to obtain video of past events were unsuccessful, and multiple local news and television outlets in the Tampa, Fla., area, where Omar spoke to Islamic Relief last month, confirmed they were unable to gain access to the closed door event.
Islamic Relief has come under congressional investigation for what lawmakers have described as its efforts to provide assistance to terrorist group such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The charity has been banned by some countries as a result of these ties.
In 2017, Congress sought to ban taxpayer funds from reaching the charity due to these terror links.
A representative from Islamic Relief declined to provide the Free Beacon with any material related to Omar’s appearance.
“The event was closed to the media. No materials are available,” the official said.
On Sunday, Omar will hold another meet and greet in Irvine, Calif., for CAIR-CA PAC. Those wishing to hear Omar speak are being asked to donate anywhere from $50 to $250 dollars, according to a flyer for the event.
The CAIR event also appears closed to the press. Free Beacon attempts to contact the organizer and obtain access were unsuccessful. Requests for comment on the nature of the speeches sent to Omar’s congressional office also were not returned.
CAIR, a Muslim advocacy group known for its anti-Israel positions, was named by the U.S. government as part of a large network of groups known to be supporting Hamas. more here
If you can’t say anything nice (or that won’t be considered islamophobic) don’t say anything at all !
She is an elected official.
Her rhetoric belongs to us and is not private.
I fully expect Nancy Pelosi to gloss over this as she did with the anti-Semitic remarks Omar made. She’ll claim Omar doesn’t understand fund raising just like she didn’t understand the words coming out of her mouth. Pathetic, but the Republican’ts won’t dare do anything for fear of that “I” word that ends in phobia.
Execute this muzzie bitch.
Paging Project Veritas… We could use some Audio/Video if ya get time.
Jeanine Pirro could use some vindication, post haste.

Let me guess we need to open a new high priced collusion investigation.
She is a seditious treasonous little skank isn’t she. Can’t believe we don’t have insider informants in these groups.
Maybe she was released from the hospital too soon atter her brain removal surgery.
Maybe she can renew her vows with her brother back in her shithole home land?
My mother knows when i’m on my period… says she can taste it on my brothers penis…
For her to accuse anyone else of “dual loyalties” is pretty rich. Her only loyalty is to islam, and she doesn’t even pretend to have any loyalty for the country that took her in and gave her the public voice she uses to denigrate it.
Where is AG Barr??
Well, she needs something to occupy her time, politicking is a part time gig, and there are only so many times she can bang her brother in a day.
Better do more than “raise eyebrows”!
A Moslem Trojan Horse.
