On November 1, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced the country's first National Strategy to Counter Islamophobia — as mobs of Hamas sympathizers paraded through the streets calling for the erasure of Israel. I'm sure that the Council on American-Islamic Relations was consulted … wasn't Rep. Ilhan Omar speaking at a CAIR event when she admitted that some people did something on 9/11?
Now it appears that the White House is scrubbing CAIR from its handy antisemitism fact sheet after CAIR's leader gave a speech celebrating the October 7 invasion of Israel.

"A national Islamophobia strategy." The White House has its priorities in place.
But really, check out Nihad Awad, CAIR co-founder; he was more than happy with the events of October 7.
This is a huge deal. Mask is fully off:

The Biden White House literally included this organization in its working group to define anti-Semitism. https://t.co/P29pH5AsBN

Remember when CAIR got a seat at the table to define antisemitism?

Praising Hamas and then complain about people having islamophobia the ostensible mission of CAIR.

CAIR is a terrorist organization.

And CAIR gets an audience and validation in the White House

CAIR is toxic and shouldn't even exist, let alone have any influence on national policy.
this is the response - is that video heavily edited, as claimed? pic.twitter.com/iuhsxOIQdZ
