BTW: Connolly is the same assclown who thinks the violations against the 1st and 4th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution by out-of- control IRS thugs, is a real knee-slapper.
Now he’s got the terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood raising money for his campaign.
From the Free Beacon.
A Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated activist whose organization recently came under fire for holding an anti-Semitic rally in support of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will head a fundraiser for Democratic Rep. Gerry Connolly (Va.).
U.S.-based Muslim Brotherhood allies Akram Elzend and Sameh Elhennawy will co-host a fundraiser for Connolly later this month at the Fairfax residence of Mohamed Mohamed, according to a copy of the invitation obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Attendees of the March 22 fundraiser are asked to donate between $150 and $400 in order to attend the event, where supporters will have a chance to “express appreciation and have direct conversation with” Connolly, according to the invitation.
A form attached to the invitation asks donors to include their personal information and contains a message that the materials were “paid for and authorized by Connolly for Congress.”
The event has attracted the attention of some U.S.-based analysts who track the Muslim Brotherhood, particularly due to a pro-Morsi rally several weeks ago in New York City that featured anti-Semitic displays and was organized by a group Elzend cofounded.
Both Elzend and Elhennawy have been tied to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and were listed as U.S.-based cells of the group, according to a report in Egypt’s El Watan newspaper.
They also were identified on a list of Morsi supporters in America who issued an Arabic statement demanding that the former president “cleanse the media and police.” The statement additionally hailed Morsi’s power grab in Egypt as “one of his revolutionary decisions.”
Elzend is a co-founder and chair of the pro-Morsi group Egyptian Americans for Democracy and Human Rights (EADHR), which held a rally last month outside of the Saudi Arabian consulate in New York.
Demonstrators at the rally were caught accusing the Saudis of trying to “sell Egypt to the Jews” and of being “dirtier than Jews,” according to video of the event published by the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT).
……Additionally, EADHR leader Hany Saqr has been quoted in the Arabic press recently as a senior Muslim Brotherhood leader in the United States.
Elzend’s EADHR also has organized pro-Morsi briefings on Capitol Hill that have featured individuals tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and even Sami Al-Arian, a convicted terrorist who worked with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
Elzend additionally serves as an official with Muslim American Society’s (MAS) D.C. branch. The MAS was created in part by the former head of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and is sympathetic to the group.
The Dems have a habit of attracting scumbags like this. It says a lot about their character.
