Sen. Cornyn Funded Islamic Group Linked to Planned Texas Muslim Community, Terrorism, Antisemitism

en. John Cornyn (R-TX) recently fell under media scrutiny for praising the American branch of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), a charity that the U.S. State Department, multiple banking institutions, and several other governments have severed ties with due to concerns of terrorism and antisemitism — but he also voted for a bill that funneled USAID money and other federal grants to the organization.

The incumbent senator caught flak after Fox News reported this month that he had “repeatedly” voiced support for the international group’s wing based in the U.S., IRUSA — one of the Muslim organizations that provided funding to the Texas’s East Plano Islamic Center, the mosque behind the contentious planned Islamic community known as EPIC City.

Around this time last year, Cornyn sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) requesting that the federal investigators look into the controversial community, citing concerns of “religious discrimination” and “Sharia Law.”

However, the senator has voted for U.S. taxpayer dollars to go to IRUSA, which provided the IRW with tens of millions of dollars per year in 2021 and 2022, making it the worldwide group’s largest source of funding, according to a Fox News report on its financial disclosures.

Through fiscal year 2016’s appropriations bill, IRW received a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and a $270,000 sub-award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The resolution passed 65-33 with Cornyn’s help, while 26 other Republicans voted against it.

Just a few years later, 990 filings show that IRUSA gave $10,000 grants in both 2020 and 2021 to the East Plano Islamic Center — the mosque that announced their Muslim-based planned Texas community in 2024 that would feature over 1,000 homes, a K-12 school, community college, and commercial shopping.

“As we witness a rise in anti-Semitism in every corner of the globe, it is incumbent on all people of good conscience to stand strong and exhibit zero tolerance for the blatant and horrifying anti-Semitism and glorification of violence exhibited at the most senior levels of IRW,” the State Department wrote in December 2020 of IRW. “We encourage all government bodies currently examining IRW activities and their relationship with IRW.”

President Donald Trump endorsed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday in the state’s high-profile Republican Senate runoff, handing a major boost to the conservative firebrand as he battles longtime Sen. John Cornyn for the GOP nomination.

Trump announced the endorsement just days before the May 26 runoff election, ending months of speculation over whether he would back Paxton, one of his closest allies in Texas politics, or Cornyn, a veteran senator who has occasionally clashed with the MAGA wing of the party.

“Ken Paxton has been a tremendous Attorney General for the Great State of Texas,” Trump said in a statement. “He has fought tirelessly for Election Integrity, Border Security, our always under siege Second Amendment, and so much else.”

Trump added that Paxton “will never let you down.”
