CPAC Scores Show How Far-Left Harris’ VP Contenders Are

After Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, a left-leaning group that ranks senators by ideology memory-holed its finding that Harris was the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate.

But the conservative CPAC Foundation also ranks members of Congress — and now governors — and its rankings cast light on the extremity of Harris’ rumored running mate picks.

Most of the prospective VPs are current governors, and of those, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was the most far-Left. He signed legislation giving illegal immigrants drivers licenses, and making the state a sanctuary state for child sex changes. He established a DEI council as his first executive order and allowed legal liability for counselors who don’t “affirm” a transgender child, and grew the state budget by 42%, CPAC said.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro was the second-most extreme, with a score of 14.6%. His score was docked for promoting DEI in state government, funding sanctuary cities, and pledging to block legislation restricting mail-in voting. He got a boost for his support of Israel, but took a hit for growing the state’s budget at twice the rate of inflation.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is the most moderate of the picks, with a CPAC score of 15%. But that’s not saying much: He vetoed bills passed by the conservative state’s legislature, including those restricting gender surgery on minors and men participating in women’s sports. He grew the state’s budget by 49% since taking office, and undermined voter ID and ballot security, CPAC said.

Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, another rumored VP pick, has a lifetime score that places him among the more moderate wing of Democrats — though he has veered Left recently, with a score of 0% in 2023.

By CPAC’s tally, Harris had one of the further-Left records in the Senate with a 4.45% lifetime conservative score.

CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp said in a statement that “Kamala Harris (CPAC Lifetime 4.45%) is the most radically left Democrat Party nominee possible, even when compared with President Joe Biden (CPAC Lifetime 12.57%) and President Barack Obama (CPAC Lifetime 7.57%). Now Kamala Harris is planning to choose a running mate equally Marxist who encourages an open border and illegal voting.”

U.N. Fires Multiple UNRWA Employees After Discovering Evidence Of Alleged Involvement In October 7 Attacks

The United Nations said this week that nine male members of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) have been fired following an investigation over their alleged involvement in Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attacks.

Deputy spokesperson Farhan Haq told a U.N. briefing on Monday that “the evidence was sufficient to conclude that they may have been involved” in the unprecedented terrorist attack in which thousands of Palestinian terrorists stormed into Israel and murdered 1,200 people, wounded 5,000+, and took hundreds of people hostage.

The admission comes after UNRWA has denied the allegations for months and falsely labeled accusations as Israeli propaganda and “disinformation.”

The organization launched an investigation after Israeli authorities provided information linking numerous UNRWA workers to the Hamas terrorist organization and the October 7 attack.

“Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution,” claimed Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA’s commissioner-general.

The U.S. State Department announced in January that in light of the evidence produced by Israel, the U.S. would cut funding to the organization.

“The United States is extremely troubled by the allegations that twelve UNRWA employees may have been involved in the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on Israel,” said department spokesperson Matthew Miller. “The Department of State has temporarily paused additional funding for UNRWA while we review these allegations and the steps the United Nations is taking to address them.”

UNRWA facilitates the spreading of anti-Semitic propaganda via many avenues, the most troublesome of which is perhaps its production of educational materials for children inciting hatred of Jews. Other examples include Nazi-like cartoons shared on social media by its staff and promoting terrorist-supporting flotillas and violence against Israel. UNRWA has also allowed Hamas to use its facilities and has employed its members as staff.

Hillel Neuer, the Executive Director of UN Watch, told a congressional hearing back in November, “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

“In 2022 alone, UNRWA received $344 million in U.S. funding,” Neuer continued. “Yet a March 2023 report by UN Watch and Impact-SE identified 133 UNRWA educators and staff who were found to promote hate and violence on social media, and an additional 82 teachers and other staff affiliated with 30 UNRWA schools who were involved in drafting and distributing hateful content to students.”

Jonathan Schanzer, the Senior Vice President for Research at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said during the same hearing in November: “No organization exemplifies the UN’s nurturing of Palestinian grievances at the expense of Palestinians better than UNRWA.”

“The agency has over 30,000 employees,” he added. “UNRWA doesn’t screen them for ties to terrorist groups, meaning that many employees are members of or affiliated with Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or other violent groups.”
