Republicans, who changed their rules to publicly vet Nezar Hamze and then vote on his application by secret ballot, said they didnt oppose him because he was a Muslim but because he is associated with the Center for American-Islamic Relations, whose Washington-area affiliate was an unindicted co-conspirator in a federal terrorism indictment.
Hamze, CAIRs South Florida director, said his local group had nothing to do with the suspect activities in Washington. He said CAIR advocates for civil rights for Muslims, who have been unfairly targeted ever since 9/11.
Im aligned with Republican values. And I want to serve the party, Hamze said, who earlier told a reporter that any effort to block him was the result of anti-Islamic bigotry.
