(Washington Examiner) “Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has cut ties with a political consultant the Washington Examiner reported this year has a history of working for groups linked to Palestinian terrorist factions.
The reason for the Tlaib campaign’s decision is unclear, and her campaign manager, Carolina Toro-Roman, as well as the consultant, Rasha Mubarak, did not reply to requests for comment. Mubarak, a longtime ally of Tlaib, operates a Florida-based firm called Unbought Power that has raked in over $435,000 in payments earmarked under “fundraising consulting” from Tlaib’s campaign and leadership PAC since 2020, Federal Election Commission filings show.
“Our campaign is no longer working with Rasha Mubarak’s firm Unbought LLC, so if you need any assistance in fundraising or have questions on how to support congresswoman Tlaib, please know I am here to help,” Toro-Roman wrote in an automated email to the Washington Examiner in response to a press inquiry directed to Mubarak’s former Tlaib campaign email. “In solidarity, Carolina and Team Tlaib.”
