Indicted Rep. Duncan Hunter is sending Islamophobic mail pieces to voters in his southern California district, attacking his Democratic opponent, Ammar Campa-Najjar, for alleged ties by his deceased grandfather to a 1972 terrorist attack

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib , who are Muslim, on the other side. Campa-Najjar is a Christian.“Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ammar Campa-Najjar ... these three radical Democrats want you to forget their anti-semitism or family-terrorist ties!” a note from Hunter states on the back side of the mailer.
"It is a piece put out by Congressman Hunter's campaign,” said Hunter spokesman Michael Harrison. “It’s a hard-hitting piece because these are significant issues that our opponent refuses to acknowledge. This is just yet another example of a full-time candidate doing anything to get some attention because after three straight years of campaigning, Ammar has failed to gain any traction on substantive issues that affect our district.
