Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., Monday called on the Department of Justice to immediately halt federal funding to the Nation of Islam, after the Washington Examiner first reported that the group has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the government to teach religious studies programs to prison inmates.
In a letter to the Justice Department obtained by the Washington Examiner, Buchanan called the report “disturbing” and said the government’s funding of the openly anti-Semitic black separatist group was “downright immoral.”
“As you may know, the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have designated the Nation of Islam as a hate group for its racist and anti-Semitic beliefs,” Buchanan wrote in the letter to acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” Buchanan added. “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”

The Gop is as big a joke as the dems.
Bump
If any thought a Bush was our friend. Please wake up.
That was deliberate FU to America by the
Democrat Party/RINO/Deep State coalition. They
wanted that broadcast loud and clear across America.
They wanted to show who really controls the nation.
The wishes and desires and culture of one half the
nation are being trampled on and disrespected by the other half that is
enthralled with the foreign, alien ideologies of Diversity,
Liberalism and Marxism. I don't think the comity and patience
of one side in America will last much longer.
If we don't start voting existing RINO's in the primary elections, we will never get our country back.
Just sent an email to the White House demanding action and sent an email to Rush so he can get the word out.
Why would DC fund Islamic group? DC lost in evil ways, many years ago.
Trump and a few survivors are all that remain of USA, therein.

Shame on whoever funded them in the first place. Funding the NOI for prison ministries, have to kidding.
o GOP leader came out against it, can you remember one?
Rubber stamp Statists, every single one of them!
You seem somewhat left-of-center.
Thanks E. Pluribus Unum.
