The Texas GOP rejected individuals with ties to an organization that Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott designated as linked to terrorist groups, trying to serve as delegates at their convention. Left-wing Texas media went out of its way to falsely present the story as one of anti-Muslim bigotry.
At the Republican Party of Texas Convention in Houston in June, individuals with ties to CAIR attempted to serve as delegates to the state GOP. When party members objected and tried to remove them, the Texas Tribune inverted the facts in order to frame the infiltrators as victims. In reality it was an attempted invasion by an Islamic advocacy network with documented terror connections.
Muslim members of CAIR (a terrorist org) infiltrated the Texas GOP Convention. We the delegates updated the rules, so this won’t happen again. The Texas Tribune is now telling us how super sad the members of the terrorist org are, and how we should feel bad for them. So insane… https://t.co/ZKQ9ia8zkS

The Texas Tribune focused on Mohamed Hussein, who left a panel discussion in tears after clashing with speakers over Sharia law. His father, Tarek Hussein, founded CAIR-Houston. Tarek Hussein established CAIR-Houston after 9/11 and maintains involvement with the Clear Lake Islamic Center, where Mohamed Hussein serves on the board.
