Ramzi Kassem is now Zohran Mamdani’s chief counsel. He is an attorney to the terrorists. This must be some kind of joke. No one could possibly think this is okay.
Kassem and his allies are authoritarians, portraying everyone else as authoritarians. This is what he said to CAIR:
“If, if any of us here believe that you know we can duck and hide in this moment where we’re we’re witnessing a steady slide towards authoritarianism in this country if anyone thinks that they can just wait out a genocide, then they are seriously deluding themselves, at best what those institutions, what those individuals and organizations are doing is they are simply negotiating a place for themselves in the queue to the slaughterhouse, to the deportation place, to the deportation plane, or to the prison. And so it’s gonna look different for each and every one of us. I don’t presume to tell you exactly what to do, but each of us in his or her lane can find an honest place to stand and to push back.”
He sued the NYPD and GITMO war criminals.
Just over a decade ago, Mr. Kassem, a Columbia Law School graduate, sued the Police Department over surveillance of Muslim New Yorkers. He represented more than a dozen clients detained at Guantánamo Bay and other sites. (NY Times)

Kassem is an al-Qaeda attorney. One of his plans is to stop all deportations. He’s a CAIR Defender of Truth. CAIR is tied to Hamas and should be banned.
He also kept the infamous Mahmoud Khalil in the country.
Here is Kassem accepting CAIR’s “Defender of Truth” Award, where he describes the moment Muslims are in.
“If, if any of us here believe that you know we can duck and hide in this moment where we’re we’re witnessing a steady slide towards authoritarianism in this country if anyone thinks that they can just wait out a genocide, then they are seriously deluding themselves, at best what those institutions, what those individuals and organizations are doing is they are simply negotiating a place for themselves in the queue to the slaughterhouse, to the deportation place, to the deportation plane, or to the prison.

Wait, Darializa is with Ramzi Kassem??
An actual attorney for Al Qaeda and Zohran’s chief counsel?
Amazing stuff.
The DSA is not only an anti-American terrorist organization, it’s also a completely astroturfed racket.
Get these people out of our country. https://t.co/O9Lcq5JHtj
