Palestinian-American Linda Sarsour Irked by New Bipartisan Black-Jewish Caucus
(CNSNews.com) – Three U.S. lawmakers on Monday announced the establishment of a bipartisan Congressional Black-Jewish Caucus, and immediately drew a backlash from Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour.
The Women’s March co-leader took issue with the fact that one of the three is Rep. Lee Zeldin, a Jewish Republican from New York, who has been a leading critic of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.)
Sarsour is a vocal supporter of Omar and Tlaib, and all three have stoked controversy with comments about Israel and Jews.
