Controversial kids YouTuber Ms. Rachel doled out $3,000 to far left Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El Sayed’s campaign – her latest bid to boost candidacies of anti-Israel radicals.
Ms. Rachel — whose real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso — quietly reported the handout in Federal Election Commission filings dated July 19. It’s unclear whether the payout is a donation or a loan.
El-Sayed has called the Israeli government a “rogue state” guilty of “genocide” and campaigned with vile left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, whose has claimed Orthodox Jews are “inbred” and that “America deserved 9/11.”
Accurso’s support of the Bernie Sanders-backed candidate is troubling considering her influence over youths, critics said.
“Abdul El-Sayed and Ms. Rachel are one and the same, forcing their socialist, they/them, anti-America agenda on our children, and parents should be worried when they head to the ballot box,” said Samantha Cantrell, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
“Ms. Rachel’s decision to support Abdul El-Sayed is deeply disappointing, and it raises the question of why someone who built a brand around kindness would lend credibility to antisemitic and hateful rhetoric,” said Sheila Nazarian, a plastic surgeon, Iranian refugee and star of Netflix’s “Skin Decision.”
Accurso did not return messages.
Accurso is a staunch critic of Israel, accusing the Jewish state of “genocide” and deliberately slaughtering thousands of children in Gaza. “Miss Rachel” also has more than 20 million followers on YouTube and 5 million followers on Instagram.
The social media star — a modern-day “Mister Rogers” – previously donated $3,500 to a crew of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed lefty candidates, who ousted establishment Democrats in party primaries that leaders admit were fueled by anti-Israel furor.
Accurso made to donations to House candidates Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander ahead of the June 23 primaries.
Her husband, Broadway and “Songs for Littles” music director Aron Accurso, also donated $1,500 to Chevalier.
