But where can Rashida Tlaib go? Joe Biden is still the candidate who is most likely to deliver on her pet issue, advancing the “Palestinian” jihad against Israel. And so she is almost certain to fall into line and vote for old Joe, however reluctantly. And that was what the Biden team was apparently counting on when it decided to denounce Sarsour: they knew that the anti-Semitic, pro-jihad wing of the party wouldn’t like it but wouldn’t go anywhere, and the denunciation would reassure Leftist Jews and others who still believe that the Democrats haven’t completely sold out to the Squad and Bernie Sanders.
“Tlaib Slams Biden Campaign for Disavowing Anti-Semite Linda Sarsour,” by Alex Nester, Washington Free Beacon, August 20, 2020:
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) took a shot at Joe Biden on Wednesday after his presidential campaign dissociated itself with anti-Semitic liberal activist Linda Sarsour.
“I am so sick and tired of folks going after @lsarsour and other Palestinian activists for speaking the truth about oppression and injustice,” Tlaib wrote on social media. “You don’t get it yet. We don’t stop until everyone is free. We will always outwork the hate.”
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. Andrew 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….
Tlaib, one of four far-left House Democrats known as “the Squad,” has not yet endorsed Biden.
