Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib took a shot at Joe Biden on Wednesday after his presidential campaign dissociated itself with anti-Semitic liberal activist Linda Sarsour.
Tlaib's remarks came after Biden's campaign emphatically denied having connections to Sarsour after she spoke at a Democratic National Convention caucus meeting Tuesday.
Rew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden campaign, said Sarsour has "No role in the campaign whatsoever" and affirmed Biden's support for Israel.
He reiterated the DNC's platform, which rejects any effort to "Delegitimize Israel" including the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement-which both Tlaib and Sarsour support.
Sarsour has tweeted her support for extremist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood and the Nation of Islam.
While Sarsour denies ever meeting Louis Farrakhan, the extremist, anti-Semitic leader of the Nation of Islam, she spoke at a rally he hosted in Washington, D.C., in 2015.
Tlaib, one of four far-left House Democrats known as "The Squad," has not yet endorsed Biden.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
