Issa or Campa-Najjar: Who Really Represents the District’s Values?

A conservative Latino’s view on politics…

PART II of my series on Campa-Najjar.

CLASSIC POLITICAL HYPOCRISY

In 2018, I chastised and told representatives from the Duncan Hunter campaign; I disagreed with their strategy and tactics tying Campa-Najjar’s grandfather – who was part of the Munich Massacre – to Campa-Najjar.

While true, the implication being Campa-Najjar is a terrorist was out of bounds. There’s a saying regarding the sons not being bound by the sins of the father. Specifically:

• “The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son.” ~ Ezekiel 18:20

I told one of Hunter’s representatives I felt questions about his past should be more simplistic and direct:

• Why didn’t Campa-Najjar return the donated dollars from CAIR, a terrorist group?
  • CAIR’s founded by Islamic terrorists, they actively support terrorists and receive partial funding from terrorists.
• Why did Campa-Najjar change his name from “Ammar Yasser Najjar” to “Ammar Joseph Campa-Najjar”?
  • The assumption is obvious as he’s running in SoCal, where our demographics heavily lean Hispanic and Latino, with obvious emphasis on “Campa.”

Those are legitimate questions, but the grandfather attacks – I disagree.

Some will attack me for bringing this up and state, I’m no different from the Hunter campaign, because bringing it up, means I want people to see the connection. My response? Stop your self-righteous soapbox crusade. It’s brought up to show Campa-Najjar’s hypocrisy.

Author’s note:
Critics condemning the above for sourcing Breitbart.com; you can’t have it both ways. If you do, then Campa-Najjar’s a hypocrite of exponential measure!

• To claim “conservative bona fides,” on “The DeMaio Report with Carl DeMaio and Lou Penrose,” Campa-Najjar specifically pointed to the Breitbart website. He was proving his conservatism by stating he wouldn’t vote for Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-NY) to become House Speaker.
  • Reminder: other freshman Democratic candidates in Trump districts made similar claims, yet once elected, voted for Pelosi.

CAMPA-NAJJAR ACCUSES ISSA WITH NO PROOF

The Campa-Najjar camp has done what they condemned the Hunter campaign of doing. Making accusations with no proof. When Campa-Najjar rejected his grandfather’s actions, I’m sure his frustration grew because the attacks didn’t stop.

However, this is the pot calling the kettle black! With no proof, he’s accused Issa of taking $150,000 through the PPP program and transferring it to his campaign. His evidence for continuing his attack; another “outside” group making the same claim.

Listen people; many “outside” groups were claiming Campa-Najjar’s ties to his grandfather made him a terrorist with donations by CAIR. As you can see, using Campa-Najjar’s logic to justify his attacks, he would have no choice but to accept, Hunter’s attacks as fine, considering he’s doing the same.

When you accuse your opponent of doing what you’re doing? We call that hypocrisy!

Campa-Najjar has no proof Issa did what he’s accusing him of doing. If I thought Hunter’s strategy and tactics were wrong and out of bounds, you can damn well bet I feel the same here!

ISSA’S NOT DUMB

Reports state, Issa’s worth over $400 million! Why would a politician with his experience do something stupid, like this? It could not only cost him the election but bring serious legal charges.

The logical answer is that he wouldn’t. That’s what I believe – unless Campa-Najjar has proof, he’s being a hypocrite, complaining about campaign tactics against him while using those same tactics himself. Desperation? Who knows but it’s clearly hypocritical.

The irony is rich – preach and chastise us on right and wrong, while Campa-Najjar follows the proverb, “Do as I say, not as I do.” We must ask ourselves:

• Do we want to send someone as sanctimoniousness as Campa-Najjar to Congress?

While I only touched on the PPP accusation, Campa-Najjar also went back 40-years into Issa’s past to bring up his youth. Again, another example of hypocrisy by Campa-Najjar to tie Issa’s youth and mistakes into the man he is today. Absurd and I believe reeks of desperation! Inside polling is probably not going as well for this false accusation to be made.

Despite false accusations, Campa-Najjar states he’s a moderate, and more conservative than the others in this race, going back to the primary. Bold claims, but we’ve heard similar because 31 first-time candidates running for Congress won their election. These freshman Democrats won in districts President Trump took in 2016.
