One things about the Democrats, they have a whole menu of midterm candidates who hate America in all kinds of different ways. There is Graham Platner who is a Nazi, then Mallory McMorrow in Michigan who hates Michigan and really wants to live in California, and don't forget Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan who believes America deserved 9/11.
The Dem frontrunner for NJ-12 @HamawyForNJ served as a defense witness for the architect of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing — Omar Abdel-Rahman

Now, we have this dude in New Jersey who was a defense witness for the World Trade Center bombing suspect and to this day refuses to condemn him. Is this real life?
This is who is running for office in NJ https://t.co/BAXTq3n8TK

The worst part is this isn't just some wacko who has no chance. He is the frontrunner!
🚨 NJ Dem frontrunner Adam Hamawy — top fundraiser for Congress — was a defense witness & longtime associate of the “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman.

The same terrorist mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot, seditious conspiracy, and calls for jihad against… pic.twitter.com/FSp6ruUoRD
Americans need to stop believing these people are rehabilitated. You don't allow a fox into the henhouse.
Somewhat less than boastfully, I write to share the news that a man who was a witness in my courtroom more than 30 years ago is now running for Congress. Adam Hamawy is the leading fundraiser among the 13 Democratic candidates competing to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District.
Mr. Hamawy appeared before me as a defense witness when I presided at the 1995 trial of Omar Abdel Rahman, also known as the “Blind Sheikh,” who was convicted of numerous offenses, including seditious conspiracy against America—providing the spiritual guidance for the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993—and conspiring to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
The defense offered Mr. Hamawy’s testimony to rebut a prosecution witness’s testimony that, during a trip to Detroit, Abdel Rahman had urged that witness to point a rifle at Mubarak’s chest and kill him. Mr. Hamawy testified he recalled no such statement, although he did recall Abdel Rahman characterizing the U.S. and Israel as “enemies of Islam” and speaking of the need for Muslims to conduct jihad against the enemies of Islam: “Of course that’s what [he] always talked about.”
Mr. Hamawy was more than a casual traveling companion of Abdel Rahman. He met the Blind Sheikh in 1991 after the cleric had already been charged with providing the spiritual authority for the 1981 assassination of Mubarak’s predecessor, Anwar Sadat, although an Egyptian court acquitted him of direct involvement in that crime. Mr. Hamawy attended several of Abdel Rahman’s sermons, visited the cleric in his home before his trial and provided him with translation services. Mr. Hamawy began his trial testimony with the greeting “salam alaykum” addressed to the defendant.
Abdel Rahman’s aspirations went beyond bombing and murder. He apparently aspired to be the Egyptian Ruhollah Khomeini, emulating the Iranian ayatollah by distributing thousands of audiotapes of his speeches worldwide through a network of followers. That dream was cut short by his criminal conviction.
Although Abdel Rahman is no longer around to provide an endorsement of Mr. Hamawy’s candidacy, having duly completed his life sentence in 2017, Mr. Hamawy has received the endorsements of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Nihad Awad—who said after the Oct. 7, 2023, atrocities against Israel that he was “happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their lands that they were not allowed to walk in.” Mr. Hamawy also has the support of American Priorities, an anti-Israel super PAC funded substantially by contributors to the mayoral campaign of New York’s Zohran Mamdani.
Just look at the people endorsing him. That's all you need to know about what kind of guy he is.
Seeing a genocide with my own eyes devastated me.

Knowing that I, and every other American taxpayer, was funding it made me furious.

Oh, of course he's doing an interview with Hasan Piker, nepo-baby LARPer. Of course, he is.
