A California Democrat is facing backlash after hosting a Hamas-associated group at his office on Capitol Hill last week.
Rep. Derek Tran welcomed a group of leaders from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as part of the "National Muslim Advocacy Day," an annual lobbying event organized by Muslim advocacy groups.
CAIR, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights organization, was recently designated as a terrorist organization by the state of Texas and Florida following accusations that the group supported funding for Hamas. The group has since filed defamatory lawsuits against Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis.
Among those in attendance Wednesday was Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIR’s Los Angeles chapter, who has previously drawn criticism over comments about Israel, including a past statement in which he said "Israel should be attacked."
"Proud to welcome folks from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for an important conversation about fighting Islamophobia and defending civil rights for every member of our community," Tran said in a post on X Wednesday.
"In a short time, Rep. Derek Tran has earned the respect of many in his district," Ayloush said in a separate post.
Social media users quickly flooded Tran’s post, condemning his support for CAIR.
"Literally hosting terrorists," one user said.
The event comes after CAIR said it helped amplify Tran’s bid for the seat representing parts of Orange County and Los Angeles County in his narrow 2024 victory over Republican Michelle Steel.

This “backlash” BS is getting old. Arrest, indict, perp walk, try for treason.
Gitmo’ him as a traitor.
When I was a kid there were three big waves of refugees, REAL refugees. Guatemalans, Hmong, Karan, Viet Minh, and Vietnamese that moved to California. Hardest working people in the fields and a lot of my good friends when I was in college at Fresno state.
How soon jerks like this forget what his ancestors fled back in those commie hell holes only to get brainwashed in a California college to say how wonderful commie s holes and Muslim dumps are and need to be here.
In 2004 CAIR opened an office on Parramore Drive, in Orlando’s roughest neighborhood. Two years later, I moved from Orlando to Lexington, KY. Is the CAIR office still open, after Governor Desantis declared them terrorists?
Not sure. CAIR was probably foreign-financed to start out, now is more or less financed by local subversives.
