There is no place in America or MAGA for these types of attacks. In Georgia Sophia Farooq, a Muslim, has been endorsed by our Veteran Team.
Georgia residents have orchestrated faith based attacks coming out in what claim to be newsletters from news@politicalvine.com which clearly references the Koran to use it against Sophia in her Campaign, integritymattersga@gmail.com to attack our organization because we endorsed her, there have been fake dossiers created marked "clean".
It's gotten to the point people are now no longer trying to hide the racism behind fake dossiers and saying they do not want a Muslim running Cobb County.
Our organization despises these tactics , our organization reaches millions with our press room and we are getting close to using it to draw attention on this unacceptable behavior.
Jared Craig, Attorney
Vice President VFAF
From Political Vine Email:
Bill Simon based in Cartersville Georgia used his newsletter known as the "Politcal Vine" @PoliticalVine2 to highlight verses of the Koran to work against our Muslim endorsed candidate Sophia Farooq in Cobb County Georgia. Then he used ongoing lawfare against our team to try to discredit the endorsement.
Our political director for the Georgia State Chapter, Stan Fitzgerald, posted the following statement only to be met with anonymous emails the following morning claiming to represent integrity attacking him because we endorsed Sophia Farooq.
"Veterans for America First has endorsed Sophia Farooq for Cobb Chair. Vietnam Veteran Lt Colonel Jerry Ramsey , who has been active in Cobb Politics for years issued our endorsement.
Ramsey is the Vice President of the State Chapter of VFAF.US. Veteran Frederic Mulika Cobb County Sheriffs Deputy and VFAF GA State Chapter Operations Director has also seconded the endorsement. Attorney Jared Craig with service on the Trump campaign will be issuing a statement before the end of the week on this smear campaign against Sophia.
There has been tremendous push back on this endorsement, the last time we had so much push back on a GA endorsement that endorsee went on to work in the Trump admin with the highest office for Vets in this nation. Even as I write this social media post I just got a Facebook message telling me this woman is Muslim SMH.
There is no place in American Politics for discrimination based on religion. Those of you who actually know me , know my 9-11 story. Those of you who actually know me , know I am a staunch supporter of Isreal and that my wife studied Torah. Those of you who know anything about VFAF know that we were invited to Isreal to meet with the Knesset and IDF forming a joint international mission on fighting PTSD.
Those of you with any discernment skills at all know social media is useless as a tool. Instead of emailing me , instead of texting me , instead of trying to debate this on social media ,go to the Town Hall tonight and ask Sophia yourself. Your statements to me fall on deaf ears, VFAF does not bend to peer pressure or whatever you want to call this, I will be voting for Sophia Saturday" said Stan Fitzgerald National Director of Educational Products and Georgia State Chapter Political director for VFAF.
