Like a long list of Republicans before him such as Rafeal “Ted” Cruz, Nimrata “Nikki” Haley, and Piyush “Bobby” Jindal, just to name a few, Ibrahem Jamal Hamadeh chooses to go by his adopted Americanized name of Abe. We’ll let you ponder what it says about the Republican party and their voters that so many of their non-Caucasian candidates choose to do this. However, his name change is the perhaps the least of Hamadeh’s deceptions.

Hamadeh has also used deception to falsely inflate his campaigns fundraising numbers to gain an advantage over his Republican challengers in the GOP primary for Attorney General.
