Special Edition | National Deputy Director of CAIR, Edward Ahmed Mitchell joins OMN

We oppose unjust violence against anyone that's been our clear record. It's in writing. And again, he's going to see that in court. That's what we have no fear about taking to court because the facts are on our side. And so is the law. So you say that care is an independent organization, Edward. How is care funded? Is it funded by donations from Americans, from foreign entities? How are you funded? The American people, absolutely. That is how care is funded. We are an American nonprofit. We take funding from the American people. And by the way, unlike Ronda Bernie Sanders, we don't take money from foreign powers or foreign interests like APEC. In any given year, 99% of donations to care people in America. We might get a few stray donations online from people in Canada, but that's it. And so again, when we go to court, if it gets that far, we'll show that in court and again show that Ronda Bernie Sanders. He is a liar, and his proclamation is baseless. The executive order also says that CARE has been convicted of providing material support to terrorist organizations. Edward, I ask you, has CARE provided support to terrorist organizations? CARES never been charged with any crimes whatsoever at all. And that's what's so funny about Mr. San is that it seemed like he might have had CHAPT write this proclamation for. Never, ever, ever has CARE been charged with any criminal offenses. In fact, as he will find out soon, CARES actually work closely with the FBI to thwart numerous terrorist attacks, including an assassination against President Trump during his first term. Now, we never really let publicly because we didn't want to take credit for it. But in light of these attacks, we are going to do that as well. So Rhonda Bernie Sanders is just, he's living in a fact-free world. He thinks he can say whatever he wants, and he can, but once we get into a court of law, facts matter, the law matters. And so we're going to share all the facts and make sure that we beat him in court as we have before. Well, I know there are critics besides Ron DeSantis of yours out there who say that organizations like Hare and the Muslim Brotherhood, for that matter, that the goal is to scheme against America and the American way of life. How do you respond to those allegations? Well, again, speaking for care and only care, I would say this, that care has been the one that's defended the Constitution for 31 years. We have gone all the way to the Supreme Court to defend the Constitution Rights guaranteed to all Americans, and one, just a few years ago we went a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling against government abuses. So it's care that supports religious freedom for all people and free speech for all people and a just foreign policy. It's Ron DeSantis who tried to kick college kids off campuses in Florida if they dare to speak up for Palestinian human rights. Ron DeSantis that wants to ban Floridians from getting contracts with the state if they boycott the Israeli government. Ron DeSantis is the one that doesn't support the First Amendment or the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. It's care that defends the rights guaranteed to the American people. That's on our record for 31 years. And that's what we have to do again now by taking Mr. Ron DeSantis to court. All right. We're up against the clock. Unfortunately, we'll have to leave it at that. Edward, thank you for your time this morning. We appreciate it. Thank you. All right. That is Edward Ahmad Mitchell. He is the Deputy Director of Care, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, designating the Council on American Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations, as you just heard.
