Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, and his outspoken conservative communications director, Candace Owens, tweeted an amazing and historic photo of themselves, as they attended the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. Along with their photo, Kirk tweeted that not a single elected Democrat (except for Senator Joe Leiberman who considers himself an Independent Democrat) was there to celebrate the historic event and that the snub would not be forgotten:

Amazingly, not a single elected Democrat is here to celebrate this historic event in Jerusalem, a bonafide signal that they do not stand with Israel. This snub will not soon be forgotten—not in America or abroad. kept

Kirk tweeted: Trump has been the greatest President in American history for the Jewish people

Radical Muslim activist Linda Sarsour accused Trump of sending an “antisemitic pastor” to open the US Embassy: “He sent an antisemitic evangelical pastor to open the US Embassy in Jerusalem who believes Jews will go to hell. You have a very interesting definition of great.”

Candace Owens quickly hit back, tweeting a response to Sarsour’s ridiculous claim: “You’re an anti-American mouthpiece that was given a platform by people that wish harm upon this country. Your time is coming to an end. Stand down.”

Who is Linda Sarsour, and why should we care that the Democrat Party is using her as their poster girl to symbolize oppressed Muslims and their plight in an intolerant America lead by President Trump?

In July 2017, Women’s March organizer and leftist darling Linda Sarsour spoke before the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). There, she called for a “jihad” against President Trump, specifying that she hoped Allah would accept her “word of truth in front of a tyrant or leader” as a “form of jihad.” Sarsour was playing a double game, naturally: She used the word “jihad” because she knew it would generate headlines and because she knew that “jihad” means more than any mere mental struggle. In fact, Sarsour led off her speech by paying tribute to Siraj Wajjah, her “favorite person in the room.” Wajjah was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a witness on behalf of the Blind Sheikh terrorist, and a man who has repeatedly embraced the notion of violent jihad. Sarsour, too, explicitly rejected assimilation. Sarsour is also friends with Islamist terrorist Rasmeah Odeh, took a picture with former Hamas operative Salah Sarsour, and brags about relatives in prison in Israel.

Here’s the video of Sarsour calling for “jihad” against President Trump:

Sarsour’s two-faced approach to “Islamophobia” demonstrates her extremism. While she complains in the pages of the Washington Post about “attacks from xenophobes and the conservative media,” she was far more explicit on Twitter about her perceived enemies: “white supremacists & right-wing Zionists,” whom she said were even paying moderate Muslims who oppose Sarsour’s radicalism. “Zionist” is the ultimate insult in the Sarsour pantheon: She has stated in the past that Zionists cannot be feminists. She has also stated that anti-radical Islamic activists such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a victim of Islamic female genital mutilation, should have their vaginas removed. Sarsour is a big fan, however, of Saudi Arabia’s maternity-leave policies, even if women aren’t allowed to drive.
