Donation of $1K to Rep. Nadler’s Campaign Made by Domestic Terrorist

Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., recently received a $1,000 campaign contribution from ex-convict and left-wing domestic terrorist Susan Rosenberg, whom he had helped obtain a presidential pardon 20 years prior, as reported by The Washington Free Beacon.

Rosenberg’s contribution came in June 2021, following the Capitol Hill riots, which Nadler attributed to “right-wing extremists” and “terrorists” attempting to overthrow the government. Rosenberg, convicted in 1985 for her involvement with domestic terrorists who aimed to overthrow the government in 1983.

Rosenberg also contributed to members of “the Squad,” a group of left-leaning lawmakers. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., received $410; Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., accepted $362; and Reps. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Summer Lee, D.-Pa., also received donations, according to the report.

All of them have accused former President Donald Trump of attempting to “overthrow our government.”

Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years in prison after being caught with 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons, including a submachine gun. She admitted to planning politically motivated bombings as part of the female-led Marxist-Leninist group known as the May 19th Communist Organization (M19). Rosenberg was also accused of planting the bomb outside the U.S. Senate chamber in 1983 to assassinate Republican senators.

Though charged in bombings at the U.S. National War College and the New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association building, Rosenberg had all charges dropped, including those from the Capitol bombing, as part of a plea deal made by other M19 members.

With Nadler’s support, Bill Clinton granted Rosenberg a pardon on his final day in office in 2001, reducing her sentence by 42 years.

Despite protests from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and law enforcement groups, as well as then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Rosenberg was pardoned. Nadler responded with indifference to reports of Rosenberg’s ongoing terrorist ties while in prison during a 2011 interview.

Linked to the 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck by the Weather Underground, resulting in the deaths of two police officers and a security guard, Rosenberg was not prosecuted.

Nadler, the same month as Rosenberg’s donation, criticized “white nationalism and far-right extremism” for the Jan. 6 riots.
