Shehab
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/10/the_muslim_educational_cultural_center_of_america_and_extremism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
Center’s soft talk has duped some politicians into attending the mosque’s
events. Some of them are Burr Ridge mayor Gary Grasso and DuPage County board
member Julie Renehan, who attended the Center’s open house last month. Also,
this month, on October 2, U.S. congressman Sean Casten spoke on immigration at

right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, illegal drugs, and equal
opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the IRP
platform and in the Republican Party platform. They are Democrat plants,
Libertarian plants, Green plants, or RINOs.)

— Tucker Carlson Thinks Congress Approved Marijuana Banking To Make Americans
‘Dumb’ – Kyle Jaeger (DIERSEN: I should write a book about Libertarians in Wheaton,
in Glen Ellyn, in Milton Township, in DuPage County, and in Illinois a) who
falsely claim to be Republican and b) who do everything that they can to stop
me from sending GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails out and to stop everyone from reading
those emails.)
https://www.marijuanamoment.net/tucker-carlson-thinks-congress-approved-marijuana-banking-to-make-americans-dumb/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But
Carlson isn’t alone is his objection to the House passage of the SAFE Banking
Act. The Family Research Council (FRC) is similarly against the legislation and
expressed frustration on Tuesday that “some conservatives out there” have “fallen
for the libertarian lie that the government can do a better job regulating
marijuana and protecting people if it’s legal.”)
