ABOUT ABE HAMADEH:
Abraham Hamadeh, born Ibrahim Hamadeh, is the GOP candidate for Arizona Attorney General. Abe won a crowded Republican field for Attorney General during the primary largely based upon his “fundraising” and commitment to investigate and prosecute election fraud connected to the 2020 presidential election. As a county prosecutor, the 31 year old Hamadeh has little to no trial experience yet wants to be the attorney general for the state of Arizona. Billboards and campaign advertisements promote and name Hamadeh as “Honest Abe.” There isn’t anything “honest” about Abe. From his first name, campaign finance reporting, to professional background – honesty is not Abe’s strong suit. Not only should Ibrahim be disqualified as a candidate for any public office, but there are various issues in his background that could challenge his standing with the Arizona State Bar Association. You can find Abe on LinkedIn here.
EARLY LIFE:
Abraham Hamadeh was born Ibrahim Hamadeh on May 15, 1991 in Chicago, Illinois to a Syrian father, Jamal Hamedah (goes by Hamadah not Hamadeh), and Sousan Hamadah, a Druze from western Asia. Abe’s father Jamal, a former jeweler in Chicago was indicted for 2 felony counts of arson for the firebombing of the Mikro Kodesh Anshe Tiktin synagogue in the Budlong Woods neighborhood in Chicago in 1994. The Budlong Woods was home to a diverse population including Jews and Arabs alike. Religious tensions in the area escalated in the 1980s and led to a series of vandalizations and arsons leading up to the bombing of the Mikro Kodesh. Jamal Hamadah (Abraham’s dad) allegedly paid to members of the Assyrian kings (an Assyrian street gang), Jami Derywosh and Edmond “Heavy” Hanna to firebomb the synagogue. The two men officially charged for firebombing both stated that the Assyrian Kings were approached by an “Arab Jeweler” and offered $4,000 to bomb the synagogue. They claimed that they had known Jamal for two years and that the jeweler wanted the synagogue bombed as “retaliation against the Jews” for three Palestinians being convicted for an earlier firebombing. Hamadeh was indicted on testimony from the two suspects well as other Assyrian Kings for solicitation and arson. Prosecutors decided to drop the case only when one of the arsonists mysteriously changed course and said that Jamal had nothing to do with the fire.
During the investigation, it was uncovered that Jamal and his wife had overstayed their visitor’s VISA. Jamal Hamadah and his wife came the United States on a visitor’s VISA in 1989 which had expired later that year. The investigation into the bombing of the synagogue in 1996 brought attention to Hamadah’s immigration status. Hamadah was ordered to leave the country voluntarily. Hamadah ultimately sought relief to the order on the basis that he had two children born in the United States including Honest Abe. Jamal ultimately was provided amnesty taking advantage of the “anchor baby” provisions in immigration in federal immigration laws. Hamadah was granted relief as the court ruled that “if the petitioner were deported from the United States, not only he, but his immediate family would suffer irreparable harm and he would be separated from his family for (a) long period of time.” Abraham has refused to acknowledge the deportation order only providing a written response stating “…my parents proudly came to the United States LEGALLY in 1989 and were rewarded for waiting in line LEGALLY with U.S. citizenship in 2007 and 2009.” Interestingly enough, under former President Donald J Trump’s AND Honest Abraham’s immigration policy, ABRAHAM himself would be an illegal alien.
Abe eventually moved with his family to Phoenix settling in the Cave Creek/Scottsdale area. What is known about Abe’s early life is that he wanted to be a WWE wrestler and he loved posting on social media and political message boards. Abe’s early engagement with online forums demonstrated his passion for American politics as well as his anti Semitic and misogynistic views. He would often make claims based on Jewish stereotypes and even today making negative references to holocaust survivors. Former United States Representative Ron Paul was Abe’s favorite politician as a teenager and Abe often posted his views online supporting Paul. Abe’s posts focused on Jewish control of wealth in the country claiming that “if you think Jews aren’t big in America (2%) how come 56% of them are CEO’s … Jews are influential and for the most part rich. It’s good we are targeting Arabs now, because next we will target Jews.” In response to Ann Coulter’s support of then candidate Ron Paul, abe wrote “She is a BITCH, I don’t give a $#@! If she votes for Ron Paul, but she better not be speaking at any , ANY rallies.” Abraham Hamedeh’s campaign has done little to explain these comments using only Abe’s age and immaturity to explain these reprehensible statements.
RELIGION:
Abraham Hamadeh grew up in a Muslim household and is still a practicing Muslim today. He has worked to keep his religion and faith from the public. He legally changed his name in 2010 from Ibrahim to Abraham to sound more western and avoid having people question his faith. It has been quietly discussed by many conservatives close to Abe that some of his ideas of Islam include Sharia Law. When running for the office of Attorney General, these rumors are extremely troublesome.
COLLEGE, PROSECUTORIAL CAREER, & MILITARY SERVICE:
Abe earned his degree in political science from Arizona State University and eventually his Juris Doctorate from the University of Arizona. Hamadeh has served in the United States Army Reserve as an intelligence officer for six years and was deployed for 14 months in Saudi Arabia. Abraham Hamadeh is alleged to be currently under federal investigation by a department of Defense court martial for breaking directives involving the separation of military and civilian authority. He has made several statements that violate the military mandate limiting the extent to which service members can comment on political activities. Additionally, Hamadeh has used several photos of himself in his Army uniforms specifically to bolster his candidacy claiming that as the Attorney General he will be “Protecting America.” These photos can provide false pretense to voters that the Department of Defense supports his candidacy. This is a clear violation of the mandate as well.
Think “Honest Abe’s” resume is thin? That’s because it is. Upon completion of his military deployment, Abraham joined the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and served as a low-level prosecutor for less than three years. Abe passed the state bar in 2017 and has publicly claimed that he has prosecuted dozens of criminal trials. His official site claims that he has prosecuted criminals, upheld victims’ rights, and sought justice for the community. In reality, Abe has only handled 32 cases, 9 of which were for probation violations, and none of his cases ever went to trial. His own campaign site does not provide any details, cases of note, nor records from his career with the attorney’s office. That’s because there are no records of Hamadeh taking anything to trial. Former peers of Abe’s have noted that he is “all ambition and no brains” and as phony as a three dollar bill. They note his ambition is not about any kind of real convictions but about getting elected.
CANDIDATE FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL:
In November 2021, Abe Hamedeh joined the race for Attorney General of the state of Arizona making his biggest campaign issue the election integrity of from the general election of 2020. Abe emerged as the youngest candidate in history and by far the most inexperienced candidate in the race. Abe initially struggled to set himself apart from the other candidates during the primary. His fundraising was extremely weak raising only $80,000 in the first quarter of 2022 until mysteriously receiving a $1,000,000 donation to his campaign which he would later claim to be a “loan”. Abe’s “donation” came from his brother Waseem Hamadeh who would get the loan repaid three days later. But not before Abe went to twitter to tell everyone that he had received a $1,000,000 donation. Prior to the loan, Abe had only raised just over $60,000. The loan, interestingly, was repaid immediately after campaign finance reporting for quarter one of 2022. Abe needed this loan for a couple of reasons – first this showed to observers that his campaign was solvent and could afford to pay its debt and second it was strategically done to show that he was a major player in the race so that he could attract the endorsement of Donald Trump. The plan worked out for Abe as he was able to secure the endorsement from the former president which led to his advancement as the GOP nominee for Attorney General. Many lawmakers wondered if Abe had informed Trump of the loan and corrected the record on the $1,000,000 being returned back to his brother. Trump had recently revoked his endorsement for congressman Mo Brooks for doing the same thing.
Abe has recently come under fire for failing to disclose income from two jobs, board membership, and his interests in businesses. Prior to beginning his candidacy for Attorney General, Abe provided a financial disclosure stating that his income was less than $1000 from April 2021 to March 2022. During that time he had worked for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office from April to October 2021 which would have certainly netted him a salary during that period. During that time he was also serving in the United States Army Reserve where he would have earned at least over $5000 during that period. In addition to misstating his income, Abe omitted the fact that he is a board member of the Dean’s Council of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University, and the fact that he is listed as the sole member of two limited liability companies – WRA Properties and Ham Advisors. Intentional providing of false information on these forms could be felony perjury according to Arizona state law. Unintentional filing of a false statement may result in a misdemeanor.
VOTER FRAUD:
One of the key issues for Hamadeh as the GOP nominee for Attorney General has been electoral integrity specifically questioning the validity of the 2020 election. Abe emerged as the strongest candidate in the primary due to his support for Donald Trump’s assertion that there was rampant fraud in the state’s tabulation of votes for the president also helped to attract the endorsement. His seemingly strong stance against election fraud is curious given that it is likely that Abe likely broke the law by casting a ballot in the 2008 presidential election. More details from Abe’s online history have uncovered Abe bragging about casting a ballot in the 2008 election claiming that he had altered his mother’s ballot. “No I cannot vote, I just submitted my mothers absentee ballot, she votes who I vote for, she voted for Ron Paul, and I’m saddened that I had to vote for Barack Obama, but it was the right thing I had to do,” wrote Abe describing his fraudulent vote. It is a felony in the state of Arizona for a person to mark a ballot “with the intent to fix an election for that person’s benefit or for that of another person” or to cast anyone’s early ballot other than your own. Additionally, it is also illegal for anyone under 18 to cast a ballot. This should easily have disqualified him from being a lawyer let alone for being a candidate for Attorney General.
FAMILY LAWSUIT:
In 2013 Abe and his two siblings were hit with a lawsuit in a dispute about control of vacant properties in several Arizona counties by their father, Jamal. Jamal claimed that the children were in breach of contract by moving properties out of an established trust and into their own companies where they had total control of those properties. Jamal had placed several properties into a trust to benefit his three children, Ranee, Waseem, and Ibrahim (Abe). These properties were placed in that trust and imparted for their use under two conditions – first, the father would remain in charge of the properties and secondly, Jamal could regain control of the properties at any point if he chose to. The advantages of such a trust would be seen if Jamal died as it would help the children avoid state involvement in the redistribution of those properties. The children transferred the land to WRA Holdings LLC three years after the trust was established violating the agreement of the trust with their father. Jamal learned of the transfer by chance one month after the children transferred the property. When Jamal demanded the his children to transfer the properties back they refused. Though this lawsuit would not normally be important, it is does again call into questions Abe’s character and whether or not he is fit to serve not just as a candidate but as a lawyer. Additionally, Abe failed to disclose this lawsuit not only when he sought GOP nomination, but when applying for the state Bar.
POLICY POSITIONS:
One of Abe’s strongest policy positions is his belief that we need tougher immigration laws. His hard-line positions include encouraging Governor Doug Ducey to declare an “invasion” due to the number of migrants crossing the border illegally. Abe also supports rebuilding the wall and prosecuting illegal immigrants as trespassers. Hamadeh has not specifically mentioned violations involving expired VISAS or other ways that people could be in the country illegally, focusing instead on persons who come to the country illegally from Mexico. This is a very tone-deaf stance, not to mention racist, given that his Syrian family has been able to live here illegally and only because his family was provided amnesty due to the fact that Abe was born in Chicago. This hypocritical stance is why Hamadeh’s candidacy is so problematic. He will not address publicly his family’s immigration status despite this information being so easily available.
Another hypocritical take is Abe’s stance against voter fraud especially given that he, himself, has committed and admitted to voter fraud. His main position as a candidate is that he wants to investigate and prosecute the 2020 election. He claims that he can “decertify” the election if he is elected – but as a lawyer he should know that this is not constitutionally possible in the state of Arizona. Should he find anyone responsible for any fraud in the 2020 election or any election after he would have a hard time prosecuting the offense given his own issues.
ABORTION:
In the Arizona primary season, Abe was very public about his anti-abortion views. Not much has changed from his teenage ramblings on Ron Paul message boards about his views on abortion. In 2007, then Ibrahim, wrote “Women always thumb down, they all complain about their right to choose to have an abortion.” On the candidate questionnaire for the Arizona Republic, Hamadeh failed to answer most of their questions leaving his views intentionally vague stating “The role of the AG is to enforce the law as it is and not as they want it to be or think the policy should reflect. The Legislature passed a law this year that was signed by the governor, making it clear the territorial law remains in effect.” In short, Abe has made clear that he would see his position as Attorney General as a prosecutor to any woman seeking an abortion in the state of Arizona despite the circumstance. Imagine enabling this felon to invade a woman’s right to privacy and punish her decisions even if those decisions are necessary to protect the life of the mother.
ABE HAMADEH = FAILED CANDIDATE:
Abe has far too many issues for a candidate for any office. It is laughable that he has won the primaries and made it this far. Abe clearly is a man of ambitions but is not much on actual experience or performance that he can speak of. There are no principles that he can claim to justify any endorsement and it is that lack of principle, lack of professional experience and even his easy willingness to lie not only make him a poor Attorney General but should make him a disbarred attorney at that.
