California Governor Gavin Newsom met with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) before the new year, despite the organization’s controversial ties and statements.

CAIR’s executive director praised a Hamas terror attack on Israel, and CAIR has been associated with terror financing and labeled a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.

Newsom’s meeting with CAIR was to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. (Trending: Clintons Scramble To Delete Embarrassing Photo, But Were Too Slow)

CAIR’s California CEO urged Newsom to continue championing civil rights and supporting Palestinians.

CAIR’s California CEO, Hussam Ayloush, wrote, “We were pleased by the Governor’s commitment to ensure his Muslim, Palestinian, and Arab constituents are heard as the violent siege on Gaza continues and that CAIR-CA had the platform to request the administration be proactive in ensuring the dignity of Palestinians.”

“In his tenure, Governor Newsom has paved the path as a champion for civil rights, and we urge him to continue to use his voice as the leader of Californians who overwhelmingly demand a ceasefire,” he continued.

As Chuck Ross of the Washington Free Beacon notes, Ayloush has also defended the October 7 terror attack:

Ayloush, too, has downplayed Hamas’s attack on Israel, the worst attack in the Jewish state’s history. He asserted in a sermon at the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco in November that it was “a lie” that Hamas’s invasion of Israel was an “unprovoked attack,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.

“If I hear that term again, I’ll go crazy,” said the CEO.

“Unprovoked in what dictionary?” he exclaimed.

However, CAIR’s defense of the Hamas attack has drawn criticism, and the White House has distanced itself from CAIR.

Despite this, Newsom has been supportive of Israel during the ongoing conflict.
