Controversial professor donated $1,550 to Speaker of the House
By Jonathan Kaplan

Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) accepted $1,550 in political contributions from an Illinois professor who accompanied former Secretary of State Colin Powell on an official trip to Ukraine last month and whose writings lawmakers have been characterized as anti-Semitic.

How Kuropas secured an invitation to travel with Powell is still a mystery. Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) has asked Powell’s successor, Condoleezza Rice, to investigate how Kuropas was invited to join the delegation that took part in the inaugural ceremonies of President Viktor Yushchenko in Kiev.

“How does a known anti-Semite walk onto a U.S. government plane with the Secretary of State, as a member of the President’s delegation … without anyone knowing how he got there or who recommended him?” Emanuel said in a statement.

In a column in 2000, Kuropas wrote, “Big money drives the Holocaust industry. To survive, the Holocaust industry is always searching for its next mark. Ukraine’s turn is just around the corner.” In 1994, he wrote that Ukrainians who participated in the Holocaust did so because “Jews helped Stalin engineer Ukraine’s genocidal famine.”
