"Brian Mast might be the perfect person to serve as a spokesperson for the war criminals of the Israeli government, but he has no business running congressional hearings on sensitive international issues that impact our nation's security," said CAIR government affairs director Robert McCaw.
Mast has publicly defended Israel's right to use any means necessary to attack the Palestinian enclave, expressing that humanitarian aid to Gaza should be slowed down.
In a social media post, Mast countered the criticism from CAIR, saying, 'I'd be more concerned if they were supporting me. Pace yourselves and buckle up.'
Mast's nomination has sparked outrage among Palestinian rights advocates, who denounce his long history of incendiary remarks about Palestinians.
