RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – A member of the state’s Commission of Immigration resigned Thursday, a few hours after Gov. Timothy M. Kaine was told about online videos showing the appointee condemning Israel and advocating “the jihad way.”Kaine learned of the videos from a caller to his live monthly radio program and accepted the resignation of Dr. Esam S. Omeish about three hours later.
“Dr. Omeish is a respected physician and community leader, yet I have been made aware of certain statements he has made which concern me,” Kaine said in a news release announcing the resignation.
The governor said Omeish resigned because he did not want the controversy to distract from the work of the 20-member commission appointed to study the effects of immigration and federal immigration policies on Virginia.
Yeah, sure.
There is something in this, which would seem to be of a piece with nobody knowing about Norman Hsu’s criminal past. in this case, we have yet another Democrat, who can’t be bothered to look too closely at the histories of the people he associates with, and his dependant upon.
Or perhaps, Governor Kaine figured nobody would notice.
