(Federalist) Former Women’s March leader and Bernie Sanders campaign surrogate Linda Sarsour officially spoke in the Muslim Delegates and Allies Assembly meeting at the Democratic National Convention on Monday. Sarsour was ousted from her Women’s March position over public antisemitic comments.
In the assembly, Sarsour, a political activist and self-proclaimed “Palestinian-Muslim-American organizer,” claimed the Democratic Party is “absolutely” the party for Muslim Americans.
“The Democratic Party is not perfect, but it is absolutely our party in this moment,” she said.
In late 2019, Sarsour came under fire for claiming that “Israel ‘is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else’” at the American Muslims for Palestine conference.
