El-Sayed Campaign Gets a $175,000 Boost From CAIR, Whose Leader Was 'Happy' About Oct. 7, After Alleging Primary Opponent's AIPAC Support Constituted 'Foreign' Intervention in Election

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the anti-Israel group whose leader said he was "happy" about October 7, is quietly funding left-wing Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's Senate bid in Michigan. That financial support comes after El-Sayed made demonization of the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) a central pillar of his primary campaign against Michigan congresswoman Haley Stevens, maligning the American group's support as foreign meddling in the election.
