Dillon tweeted that the candidate, Qasim Rashid, was unfit for office, and included a hateful meme that falsely portrayed Islam as promoting violence.

“I think the bigger risk is for me to stay silent and not try to neutralize this hatred,” Qasim Rashid said. “But then I noticed something peculiar — that Oz and his wife are struggling with massive medical debt,”. “And so I thought, ‘Well, I don't actually have $27,000 to give this guy, but I do have the ability to throw about 50 bucks his way,' which I did,” Qasim Rashid said.

Dillon said what Qasim Rashid did changed him. “He has been correcting me, enlightening me a lot about the myths and misconceptions of Islam,” Dillon said. The two took a picture together and Qasim Rashid tweeted it.
