Michigan’s ‘Dearborn Democrats’ herald the Islamization of US politics

Michigan Democrats had to choose between a Hezbollah-sympathizing radical and a perfectly respectable former Barack Obama attorney. 

Given the drift of their party, it wasn’t a difficult choice — it was the virulently anti-Israel extremist all the way. 

At their convention over the weekend, Democrats selected Amir Makled as their nominee for a seat on the University of Michigan Board of Regents.

A Dearborn, Mich., lawyer, Makled represented pro-Hamas student demonstrators, called for the university to divest from Israel and expressed great respect for anti-Israel terrorists in social media posts. 

He reposted X items referring to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a “martyr” after he was killed in an Israeli strike.

He gave the same treatment to a Hezbollah official named Abu Ali Khalil, “a martyr on the road to Jerusalem.”
