Congressman calls on Justice Department to halt federal funding for Nation of Islam
Washington Examiner ^ | January 07, 2019 11:13 AM | Alana Goodman

Posted on 01/07/2019 3:40:13 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

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.”

"And no wall.
But Mexico n central America just got
10 Billion taxpayer dollars."

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.

The Republicans took over the House in 2010.

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.

Trump and a few survivors are all that remain of USA, therein.
