Following the
Gaza war Chaudry had posted several comments on her private social media accounts in which she compared
Israel to
Nazis, called into question the claim that babies had been murdered in the
October 7 Hamas-led attack, criticized Israel's response to the October 7 attack, and condemned the disproportionate killing of innocent Gazan civilians. Chaudry refused to retract or apologize for these comments, stating her posts were taken out of context and her First Amendment rights were infringed upon. In response to these comments, Chaudry was temporarily suspended from the Maryland Commission on Hate Crime Response and Prevention on November 21, 2023. She was reinstated on December 6, 2023, as there is no legal mechanism for suspension or early termination of membership in the commission".
Support from CAIR should be the death knell of any candidate.
