The White House removed the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) from its list of partners in the US National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism after CAIR's executive director, Nihad Awad, made antisemitic remarks. This decision came after Awad expressed happiness about an attack on Israel on October 7. The Biden administration had initially included CAIR as a partner in the strategy to counter antisemitism but quietly scrubbed CAIR from the list. Republicans and some media outlets have criticized the White House's previous partnership with CAIR, citing the organization's alleged antisemitism. The removal of CAIR from the strategy has sparked discussions about the organization's credibility and the administration's decision-making process.

For the better part of two decades, the press and more obtuse elements of the Democratic activist class have postured theatrically confused over the right’s warnings about CAIR and its leaders. That posture was preposterous then. It’s insane now. https://t.co/RwszfVk1Ks
