New Jersey Democrats Cross Point of No Return With

It’s not unusual for Democrats to decide somebody with identified terrorist sympathies to characterize them in Congress, as we have seen, for instance, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05), and just about every member of the notorious Democrat Socialist Congressional Squad – in any other case identified as the Hamas Caucus. 

Relatedly, there’s also communist pro-Hamas NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is a complete other subject for dialogue.

But choosing somebody who has truly befriended and defended an notorious terrorist in a court of law and who has also performed volunteer work for a group with alleged hyperlinks to Al Qaeda could be a new low in what could also be yet another crossing-the-rubicon second for the fashionable Democrat Party.

As RedState beforehand reported, Adam Hamawy was the Democrat frontrunner among the crowded area of 13 Democrats working for New Jersey’s twelfth Congressional District, which is at present represented by retiring Democrat Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. Hamawy, who is also backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), is a plastic surgeon and served in the U.S. army as an Army Lt. Colonel during the Iraq War. But when one scratches beneath the floor, the small print are fairly disturbing.

Hamawy has confronted persistent criticism from the best for his actions associated to the infamous “Blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman. In fact, he was a protection witness for Abdel-Rahman at his 1995 terrorism trial:

Under questioning from prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald (who is now representing James Comey), Hamawy testified that Abdel-Rahman “always talked about” jihad.

Fitzgerald: “Did you hear defendant Abdel-Rahman prior to the arrest talk with about how America is the enemy of Islam?”

Hamawy: “Yes.”

Fitzgerald: “And you heard prior to the arrest about how Israel is the enemy of Islam, correct?”

Hamawy: “Yes.”

Fitzgerald: “Did you hear about how Muslims had to do jihad against the enemies of Islam before the arrests in June 1993?”

Hamawy: “Of course. That’s what he always talked about. He talked about jihad, you know.”

In the early Nineteen Nineties, Hamawy was a loyal follower of the sheikh, even after Abdel-Rahman emerged as a prime suspect in the bombing. “If you need anything, you can just give me a call,” Hamawy told Abdel-Rahman in 1993, just months after the World Trade Center bombing, which left six useless, trial transcripts show.

In 1996, Abdel-Rahman “was convicted of preparing what prosecutors called a ‘war of urban terrorism’ in New York City”:

Although there was inadequate evidence to hyperlink Abdel Rahman immediately to the World Trade Center bombing, in January 1996 he was convicted of getting ready what prosecutors called a “war of urban terrorism” in New York City. Under a hardly ever used Civil War-era seditious conspiracy law, prosecutors proved that the cleric had conspired to “overthrow or put down or destroy by force the Government of the United States.” Abdel Rahman was discovered guilty of plotting to blow up the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the United Nations building, and other Manhattan landmarks. He was also linked to the Kahane homicide and convicted of attempting to orchestrate the assassination of Egyptian Pres. Ḥosnī Mubārak. Abdel Rahman was sentenced to life in prison.

In a May interview with NJ Insider, Hamawy declined to disavow himself from his former affiliation and protection of the now-deceased Abdel-Rahman:

Hamawy also broke bread with far-leftist icon Hasan Piker, who said America “deserved 9/11.”

Thanks to the twelfth Congressional District’s Democrat main voters, Hamawy is now the social gathering’s nominee:

And because the district has far more Democrats than Republicans, he isn’t just the nominee, he is also the presumptive winner:

Hamawy in November faces Republican Gregg Mele, who has run unsuccessfully for a number of places of work in New Jersey as a Republican and libertarian.

But Hamawy’s victory in the first is tantamount to profitable the overall election. There are more than twice as many registered Democrats than Republicans in the district, where Watson Colman received reelection by 25 factors in 2024, when Republicans carried out more strongly in New Jersey than anticipated.

Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) has already given him a heat welcome:

Congratulations to Dr. @HamawyForNJ on a arduous fought victory tonight.

In addition to Hamawy’s main victory, current polling reveals Democrats are championing Nazi tattoo man Graham Platner in Maine for Senate, and pro-Hamas Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. And the particularly scary factor about it’s that Democrat “leaders” like Jeffries and Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who keep lecturing about alleged “extremism” on the best, do not appear to care and, in some circumstances, are even embracing them, as famous above.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will decide the destiny of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must keep control of both chambers of Congress.
