Chuck de Vore - Controversies

Controversies

• DeVore settled a copyright infringement lawsuit against Don Henley for a parody video that he and his campaign worker, Justin Hart. DeVore and Hart settled with Henley after Judge James V. Selma sided against them. The two issued a public statement apologizing to Henley.
• In a blog post for Andrew Breitbart's BigPeace.com, DeVore criticized Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for seeking to meet with Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim. DeVore accuses Ibrahim of having ties to Muslim Brotherhood, but at a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center in June 2010, Ibrahim spoke favorably of a two-state solution, something the Muslim Brotherhood adamantly opposes. DeVore came under criticism from noted human rights advocate, Thor Halvorssen Mendoza for not criticizing the oppressive Malaysian regime and for directing all of his attention to Ibrahim.
