Democrat Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown has taken action against a member of his own hate crime task force following the discovery of numerous antisemitic social media posts. Zainab Chaudry, who serves as the director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Maryland office, posted the hateful messages in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, which resulted in over 1,200 casualties, including the beheading and burning of children and babies.
In a press release, Attorney General Brown stated, “The Office of Attorney General learned last week about personal social media posts of a member of the Maryland Commission on Hate Crimes Response and Prevention, Zainab Chaudry, Executive Director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations – Maryland Office.” He continued, “Attorney General Brown has determined that Ms. Chaudry’s social media posts risk disrupting the work and mission of the Commission, so he is announcing steps that he took today to ensure that the vital work and mission of the Commission can continue without interruption,” and revealed that Chaudry’s membership on the commission would be “temporarily suspended.” Brown also expressed the intent to create a “draft values statement” regarding personal communications by commission members, emphasizing the need for careful communication and conduct.
