“#Biden campaign denies Linda Sarsour ties after DNC app<\/a>earance<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The Biden campaign is distancing itself from controversial former Women\u2019s March leader Linda Sarsour after the Democratic National Committee featured her in a council meeting at the convention this week.<\/p>\n

Sarsour, a prominent left-wing Muslim advocate who has faced accusations of anti-Semitism, appeared at a virtual meeting of the Democratic National Convention\u2019s \u201cMuslim Delegates and Allies Assembly\u201d on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the appearance, Sarsour argued, \u201cThe Democratic Party is not perfect, but it is absolutely our party in this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activist, who endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the Democratic primary, has been vocal in her support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, which calls for actions to be taken against Israel in the form of economic warfare.<\/p>\n

Prior to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) joining former Vice President Joe Biden on the presidential ticket, Sarsour declined to endorse.<\/p>\n

Once she finally did, the progressive\u2019s endorsement was less than enthusiastic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret that I have disagreements with both VP Joe Biden & Senator Kamala Harris. But I know what I need to do \u2013 Elect the Biden-Harris ticket and prepare to hold them accountable in the White House,\u201d she wrote on Twitter<\/a> after the announcement.<\/p>\n

After Sarsour was seen participating in the convention event Tuesday, Team Biden was quick to note that she was not involved in the former vice president\u2019s presidential bid.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoe Biden has been a strong supporter of Israel and a vehement opponent of anti-Semitism his entire life, and he obviously condemns her views and opposes BDS, as does the Democratic platform,\u201d Biden spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever,\u201d he added before reiterating that the Democratic platform was against the BDS movement.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party\u2019s platform states, \u201cWe oppose any effort to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel, including at the United Nations or through the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement, while protecting the Constitutional right of our citizens to free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Beast, one Democratic Party official said the campaign was not involved in choosing participants for all events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe caucus and council chairs come up with their own programming and select their own speakers,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

Sarsour appeared to take offense to the Bates comment and the Biden campaign\u2019s rejection of her.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, she wrote a post mentioning Bates directly and firing a warning shot.<\/p>\n

\u201c@AndrewBatesNC, just came here to remind you that you need a coalition to defeat Donald Trump and that Muslim Americans are an important voter bloc in key states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania & I know a little something about how to organize them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In late 2018, Sarsour apologized amid mounting criticism of her embrace of Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader with a long history of anti-Semitic and homophobic comments.<\/p>\n

As a result, the March began being associated with a man whose \u201cNation of Islam\u201d is characterized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should have been faster and clearer in helping people understand our values and our commitment to fighting anti-Semitism. We regret that,\u201d Sarsour\u2019s statement began.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery member of our movement matters to us \u2014 including our incredible Jewish and LGBTQ members. We are deeply sorry for the harm we have caused, but we see you, we love you, and we are fighting with you,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n

The apology didn\u2019t stick, and Sarsour \u2014 along with two other Women\u2019s March founding board members, Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland \u2014 stepped down from the group in January 2019.<\/p>\n

The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
