Still live on the Facebook page of Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates Ibraheem S. Samirah are three anti-Semitic posts from several years ago, despite Big League Politics’ Thursday reporting exposing his racism.

In one of his posts, he compared Israelis to the KKK.

“Ariel Sharon, burn. Burn a million times for every innocent soul you killed. Hell is excited to have you,” he said in another post. (Archived here)

“Most Israeli teenagers not only want to cover up the murders in their name, but they have younf urges that need to be released somehow,” he said in another. “Tinder’s perfect for that.” (Archived here)

Big League Politics reported yesterday:

Ibraheem Samirah is the Democratic nominee for Virginia House of Delegates in the 86th District. His election takes place later this month, on February 19th. Samirah is up against U.S. Airforce veteran Gregg Nelson in the special election.

Samirah is also a rabid Israel hater who speaks of the “Israeli occupation” and recently vowed to “avenge” the deaths of Egyptian protesters, according to his own social media posts, which have been provided to Big League Politics.

Tim Hannigan, chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee, urged Samirah to explain his anti-Semitism, or to drop out of the race completely.

Naturally, Samirah’s official Twitter account describes him as a “progressive.”

“Dentist, community organizer, Muslim American and progressive Democratic candidate for the House of Delegates in Virginia’s 86th district!” his bio says.

So far, Samirah has not commented on the issue.

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott is predicting a “50% increase” in support for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Scott made the prediction in an interview with Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Friday.

“President Trump will see a 50 percent increase in his African-American support. It will go from 8 percent in 2016 to a minimum of 12 percent in 2020. He may even get to 15 percent of the African American vote, and that is game over.”

Such a small slice of the black vote may seem small, but it very well could prove enough to be impactful in swing states such as Michigan and Pennsylvania. Scott pointed to President Trump’s performance on economic policy as a possible factor in drawing black support to the GOP in 2020.

“[Trump] had an executive order to increase affordability of home ownership, and African American home ownership since he took office is up about 2%… President Trump is not just talking a good game, he is walking a good game.”

Scott pointed to the possibility of a Michael Bloomberg nomination alienating some Black Americans from the Democratic Party.

African Americans have been one of the most consistent voting blocs for the Democratic Party since the 1960’s. Some blacks are concerned that they’re not a priority for the Democratic Party in an era where the party has made generous policy concessions to various demographic groups.

A realignment of some Black Americans into the Republican Party wouldn’t be without precedent in American history. African Americans originally strongly supported the reconstruction-era Republican Party when they were granted voting rights(in theory) after the Civil War. The first black U.S Senator and House Representative was a Republican.
