Lynne Torgerson is a 2010 congresswoman candidate whose plan is to unseat Keith Ellison (D-Minn.). In a press release Torgerson states "CAIR was named a co-conspirator, albeit un-indicted, in the recent Holy Land Foundation criminal trial, resulting in conviction(s) for sending millions in funds to terrorists, namely Hamas. Keith Ellison has helped raise funds for CAIR. CAIR has helped Keith Ellison conduct fund-raising for his campaign. Keith Ellison should not be an elected official in our federal government.”[1] In a pusillanimous response, CAIR has claimed that Torgerson is simply a racist[2], brazeningly ignoring the fact that FBI's concerns over whether CAIR has ties to Islamic terrorism.[3]
