A MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD SECURITY BREACH IN CONGRESS

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.

Last year, eight members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issued a demand that their staffers be granted access to top secret classified information.

The signatories to the letter were Andre Carson, Luis Guiterez, Jim Himes, Terri Sewell, Jackie Speier, Mike Quigley, Eric Swalwell and Patrick Murphy. All the signatories were Democrats. Some had a history of attempting to undermine national security.

Two of them have been linked to an emerging security breach.

That anecdote is buried in an otherwise complimentary profile of the congressman from Mother Jones. Ellison recently came under renewed scrutiny for his past defense of anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in the student paper, and for inviting Stokely Carmichael to give a campus speech in which he accused “Zionists” of collaborating with the Nazis.

One of the campus critics of Ellison (who then went by ‘Keith Hakim’) was an editor of the Minnesota Daily Michael Olenick. Olenick told Mother Jones that Ellison argued in their conversations that blacks and other oppressed groups “could not be racist toward Jews” because “Jews were themselves oppressors.”
