Shot/Chaser: Hayes Defends Anti-Israel Activists

SHOT: Jahana Hayes claims to be pro-Israel saying, “my work on behalf of my Jewish constituents speaks for itself.”

CHASER: In the exact same X thread, Hayes defended a letter she penned praising the “impactful work” of CAIR, an anti-Israel group that even the White House disavowed. And she defended her other letters expressing her support of CAIR.

And that’s not all… Take a look at Jahana Hayes’ staunch anti-Israel record:

• Hayes refused to condemn a grossly antisemitic phrase that promotes the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews.
• She failed to hold fellow Democrats accountable for their antisemitic rhetoric.
• And she voted against sending aid to Israel following the October 7th terrorist attack.

“Hayes continues to try to rewrite the script,” said CLF Regional Press Secretary Maureen O’Toole. “Hayes actually tries to defend her record on Israel while simultaneously defending anti-Israel activists. One thing is for certain: Jahana Hayes is no friend of our great ally in the Middle East, and Connecticut voters won’t forget it.”
