(Washington Examiner) “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) targets one audience more than any other for her campaign’s Facebook ads: fans of the Qatari-backed website Al Jazeera.
Tlaib’s campaign has spent over $81,000 on ads in the last 90 days, largely to draw attention to her anti-Israel positions and fundraise for her fellow progressive Squad members in the House, according to data from Facebook’s ad database. The Michigan Democrat has used detailed targeting to gear her content mostly to users interested in Al Jazeera, followed by “Palestine,” the “Gaza Strip,” and the “top 10% of ZIP codes” in the United States ordered by household income, data show.
It’s no surprise Tlaib targets readers of Al Jazeera, according to Republican Jewish Coalition spokesman Sam Markstein, who said Tlaib is “hell-bent” on opposing Israel.
