Calls On Romney to Cut Ties, Return Money
By DNC Press
Following the news that Patrick Cave, a fundraiser for Mitt Romney, has served as a lobbyist for the Arab Bank which was investigated by the Treasury Department for funneling money to Palestinian terrorists, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz released the following statement:
“I am deeply disturbed to hear that Mitt Romney’s re-election bid is in part being bankrolled by a man who just a few years ago lobbied for a client that was under federal investigation for funding Palestinian terrorists. As recently as 2008, Patrick Cave was working for the Arab Bank, which has faced lawsuits from the families of victims who lost their lives to attacks by Palestinian suicide bombers.
“It is unconscionable that Mitt Romney is even associating with Cave, let alone using him as a key fundraiser for his presidential campaign. Mitt Romney cannot talk about being a supporter of Israel on the one hand, while taking money on the other from someone who has a known association with terrorists whose goal is to do Israel harm.
“I call on Mitt Romney to immediately cut ties with Patrick Cave and return any campaign donations he has received from Cave or through his fundraising efforts.”
