URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – Don Arias has seen firsthand what radical Islamic terrorism does to American families. And right now, he’s watching something that makes his blood boil.
Arias is an Air Force veteran and former New York City firefighter who witnessed the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the first time Islamic terrorists tried to bring those towers down. His brother Adam worked on the 84th floor of the South Tower. On the morning of September 11, 2001, Don spoke with his brother by phone after the first plane had already struck the North Tower. Adam described the chaos to him, desperate victims jumping from the burning skyscraper above. Adam never made it out.
“So, that has stuck with me for many years,” Arias told Fox News Digital. He has since become a relentless advocate for 9/11 victims’ families.
What has him fired up now is the alarming parade of candidates with deeply troubling backgrounds winning Democratic primaries at an accelerating pace, and the voters who seem completely oblivious to it.
First, there’s Dr. Adam Hamawy, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon and Army combat veteran who won New Jersey’s crowded Democratic primary for the 12th Congressional District to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman. Sounds fine on the surface. But his past includes a cozy relationship with Omar Abdel-Rahman — the “Blind Sheikh” — the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The pair met in 1991 when Hamawy was a young adult, and he soon began accompanying Abdel-Rahman to mosques. The two even took a 13-hour car ride from New Jersey to a conference in Detroit together. Hamawy later testified on behalf of the defense at the sheikh’s trial. Hamawy received $2 million from American Priorities, a pro-Palestinian super PAC, helping propel him to victory.
Arias isn’t buying the “nothing to see here” spin.
“When he’s pals with the Blind Sheikh, and he’s his translator for several years, when he testifies for him in court saying what a great guy he is, when he spends that kind of time with this guy, and then says that he’s never heard him say anything about jihad, I have to question his veracity. I mean, that just doesn’t ring true,” Arias said.
“Show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are,” he continued. “And if this guy Hamawy is going to try and forget all about that — he wants it to go down the memory hole and say, ‘oh, I was a veteran, you know, I did good stuff’ — I’m not going to forget, and I don’t think people should forget.”
Then there’s Aber Kawas, the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens who is now the Democratic nominee for New York State Senate District 12, backed by socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. In a 2017 podcast, Kawas had this to say about the September 11 attacks: “The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy… and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we’re just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11.” She also said, “The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery… is something I find reprehensible.”
Arias had a clear response to that framing: “For her to minimize 9/11 … it’s just like, ‘oh, some people had some planes,’ you know, it’s beyond the pale.” He didn’t stop there: “So, when I look at somebody like Kawas, when I look at somebody like Mamdani, I don’t see an American. I mean, you scratch the surface, you see a commie, you see a radical, and — forgive me for saying it — I see a Nazi.”
Arias blames the school system for producing the voters who put these people in office: “It’s very insidious and it’s very seductive to the young and dumb. It’s the young, it’s the dumb, it’s the indoctrinated who are voting for these people in numbers.”
“I don’t know what happens to a person where they actually grow to hate their own country, but I blame universities and the schools for this,” he said. “It’s an indictment on our education system because almost… they’re all very young, very ill informed and they’re Islamo-Nazis at this point.”
He described socialism and its supporters as completely divorced from reality: “These guys are cruising, so they can have these luxury beliefs, these ethereal conversations about mankind. They’re so out of touch.”
“We’re not educating the voters,” he said, “and the voters aren’t doing the proper research into their candidates, because I think if they knew… they wouldn’t vote for him, and I think people need to bring that to the forefront.”
The voters pulling the lever for candidates like Hamawy and Kawas owe it to people like Don Arias, and to the nearly 3,000 Americans who never made it home on September 11th, to do better. A whole lot better.
