Report: California Democrat Whose Husband Works for Weapons Builder Wants to ‘Defund the Pentagon’
Breitbart ^ | MArch 3, 2026 | Amy Furr

Posted on 03/03/2026 10:26:39 AM PST by chickenlips

A Democrat running for office in California has reportedly called to defund the Pentagon, but her husband works for a company that built missiles the United States is believed to have used during the recent strikes on the Islamic regime in Iran.

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair is a candidate for the state’s 65th Assembly District and her husband, Fazlul Zubair, is an engineer manager for Raytheon, the New York Post reported Monday.

The United States and Israel launched a joint military operation targeting Iran on Saturday in part to ensure the regime will never have the capability to threaten the world with nuclear weapons, according to Breitbart News. President Donald Trump also confirmed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was dead.

The Post article continued:

The California Post asked Iqbal-Zubair to respond to the contradiction between her policy positions and her husband’s employment to Raytheon, which rebranded to the RTX Corporation in 2023.

“I have no comment,” she told The Post.

Screenshots from a since deleted X account from 2022 show Iqbal-Zubair allegedly tweeted to “demilitarized our entire world & defund the Pentagon.”

Literally in support of defying the constitution and the requirement for federal government provide for the defense of the nation.

How much more obvious a traitor can one be.

Maybe his employer needs to defund his salary, permanently.

Hubby needs to be investigated and probably fired as a security risk.

I'm fairly certain that Fatima Iqbal-Zubair doesn't qualify for membership in the DAR.

“Fatima Iqbal-Zubair”

For the love of God why are we letting these people into our country? Another foreign Muslim getting involved in our politics. This has to be stopped.

“Fatima Iqbal-Zubair was born in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. She earned an undergraduate degree from the Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2005 and a graduate degree from the Sint Eustatius School of Medicine and California State University Dominguez Hills in 2016.”

This racist raghead is probably not going to win her election; some different racist — once which is home-grown — will win this open D+33 seat instead.

It’s still worth investigating (and then deporting) her though.
