Spat over GOP campaign donation turns into ethical quandary
The Arab American Institute followed up the same day with their own statement calling Bailey to return the donation, as well as to sign the “Pledge to Combat Bigotry” that Bailey’s Democratic opponent Jim Kenney signed last month.
“Mr. Terhune recently publicly posted a video promoting racist opinions and violence against Arab Americans and American Muslims,” the AAI statement reads. “This blatant act of fear-mongering is dangerous and it has no place in the political discourse of Pennsylvania or anywhere in the U.S. Mr. Terhune is well known for his racist and anti-Muslim attitudes and Mrs. Murray Bailey should not be associated with an individual who espouses such prejudice.”
