New: Jewish Org Demands House Dem Fire Farrakhan-Linked Aide

"It is beyond alarming that a major U.S. Senate candidate and sitting member of Congress employs political staff who associate with Louis Farrakhan," Liora Rez, Founder and Executive Director of StopAntisemitism, told Fox News Digital in a blistering statement attacking Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.

"For decades now, Farrakhan has in the most vile, disgusting, and radical terms denounced Jews and Judaism," she said. "Given Rep. Slotkin's extensive experience in counterterrorism, intelligence, and international security, it is concerning that she was unaware of this advisor's connection to Farrakhan." ...

Rez's comment follows a Fox News Digital report on Terra DeFoe, Slotkin's deputy political director, who posted on Facebook in 2017 about her "full week" of "supporting the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan" at the Nation of Islam's "Saviours' Day Convention."

Slotkin should be held accountable for that hire, but we've had members of Congress with direct ties to Farrakhan in the past. Even Barack Obama had his ties to the Nation of Islam anti-Semite. And Slotkin's fellow Michigander, Rashida Tlaib, just appeared at a PFLP-endorsed event this past weekend.
