Trump’s company cancels gala planned by anti-Muslim group at Mar-a-Lago
A rightwing “national security organization” with a history of anti-Muslim extremism has scrapped plans for a lavish $1,500-a-head gala dinner at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, after a backlash from civil rights groups.
But after accusations from civil rights advocacy groups, including the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Council on Islamic American Relations , that the president was “profiting from bigotry”, the Trump Organization abruptly pulled the plug on the event at the weekend. In a statement, Cair’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, said: “No individual, organization or public official should profit from bigotry. [We] urge other potential venues nationwide to consider the group’s history of Islamophobia and associations with white supremacist and racist organizations.”
“The SPLC and CAIR seek to silence and eliminate political opponents by redefining criticism of their agenda and tactics as ‘hate’,” she said.
