One of the Democratic Party’s top Senate candidates helped raise money for an organization that is “at the center” of violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.

In an unearthed blog post, obtained exclusively by the Washington Reporter, Mallory McMorrow, a far-left Democrat running in Michigan’s open Senate race, helped raise money for a series of left-wing organizations, including the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA).

McMorrow’s blog, which posted shortly after President Donald Trump’s 2016 win, directs viewers to a Jezebel page that is “A List of Pro-Women, Pro-Immigrant, Pro-Earth, Anti-Bigotry Organizations That Need Your Support.”

Several of the groups are so radical that they could jeopardize McMorrow’s chances to win next November, while simultaneously boosting her in a Democratic Party primary. CHIRLA, as the Washington Examiner reported, is “at the center of” the recent violent riots in Los Angeles.

“The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, one of the activist organizers at the center of the Los Angeles protests, received millions in taxpayer dollars through government grants, including federal funding for immigration assistance services,” the Examiner’s Mia Cathell found.

Other groups that McMorrow helped raise money for include Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group so anti-Semitic that the Biden White House stopped inviting it to meetings. Last year, Jewish Insider reported that “the White House no longer invites CAIR to any events, [Andrew] Bates told JI.” CAIR’s leader said that he was “happy to see” the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel.

Another one of the group’s McMorrow routed potential donors to wants to, called Campaign Zero, wants to “shrink the reliance and power of the police.”

While McMorrow’s blog post in question is almost ten years old, her activism on behalf of radical organizations has followed her on the campaign trail. Town Hall obtained video in which McMorrow was “catching HEAT for raising money on behalf of ‘Immigrant Rights Action.’”

The group, Town Hall reported, “give[s] driver's licenses to illegals and teach them to avoid deportation. She BOOKED IT when confronted about it.”
