Anti-Israel NJ House candidate who was denied access to ‘23 White House event believes he’s on terror watchlist
NY Post
An anti-Israel “Squad” wannabe running in a New Jersey Democratic primary Tuesday was denied security clearance to a White House event last year, according to multiple reports
Mohamed Khairullah – who is running against veteran Rep. Bill Pascrell – was quoted in Politico as saying he believes he is on a terror watchlist “with no due process” to clear his name after he was denied entry to the event.
The report comes as Kairullah was also revealed to have also been arrested for aggravated assault in 2002 for allegedly attacking his then-wife, who filed a police complaint against him, according to police reports viewed by The Post. The domestic violence charge was later dropped.
Khairullah is mayor of Prospect Park, a town outside the city of Paterson, which has the largest population of Palestinian-Americans in the US.
The district also has a large Jewish population, particularly in the city of Passaic – making the Israel-Hamas war a burning issue in the race.
A Syrian native who moved here in 1980, Khairullah slammed Pascrell for voting for a $26.4 billion military aid package to Israel.
