Kamala Harris returns donation from Muslim cleric who shared antisemitic content

EXCLUSIVE — Vice President Kamala Harris has refunded a campaign donation she received from a Muslim cleric who shared antisemitic content on social media, a Harris campaign official told the Washington Examiner.

Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, returned a $500 check that was directed to her campaign in August from imam Asad Zaman of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, the campaign official said. Zaman, as the Washington Examiner first reported, was dubbed a “master teacher” in 2018 by Harris’s running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), who often hosted Zaman for events as the governor of Minnesota.
