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.

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.

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.
