In June 2017 , a day after ISIL attack in Tehran , during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing , Rohrabacher stated : " Is n't it a good thing for us to have the United States finally backing up Sunnis who will attack Hezbollah and the Shiite threat to us , is n't that a good thing ? " This comment was strongly criticized by the National Iranian American Council , which wrote , " Rohrabacher has a long history of bizarre and offensive statements on Iran , but his callousness toward the Iranian victims of ISIS terror might be his most callous and extreme thus far . " Rohrabacher supported removing the People 's Mujahedin of Iran ( MEK ) from the United States State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations ; it was included on the list from 1997 to 2012 . Rohrabacher received $ 10,300 from the MEK between 2013 and 2015
