GOP Rep calls on Biden to denounce, reject cash from progressive groups fueling anti-Israel protests

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa told Fox News Digital it would be a "huge help" if President Biden disavowed and rejected donations from progressive groups that are fueling the anti-Israel protests nationwide, while also explaining that the tepid response from Democrats shows the rise of anti-Semitism within the party.

"If the president would come out, whether it's George Soros or a host of other supporters and be honest and say that, you know, not only would he send the money back but he wants them to stop funding people who support violence it would be a huge help," Issa said. "I don't expect him to do it."

The anti-Israel protests have been organized by groups fueled by progressive donors, including George Soros, some of whom have also donated to the Democratic Party and Biden, Fox News Digital reported last month.

Soros recently gave $250,000 to help Biden win re-election and Politico reported earlier this month that some major Biden donors have also funded groups associated with the college protests.

"The growth of The Squad and people who think the same and are willing to talk the same, or at least support them has certainly caused people to realize that the party of the Democrats of Robert F Kennedy, John Kennedy and for that matter of Steny Hoyer is gone," Issa told Fox News Digital this week.

"They're no longer willing to stand up for Israel or against anti-Semitism and it's now coming home to be seen in these incredible amounts of votes where they won't support
