Rashida Tlaib and 'Squad'-linked committees pushed large sums to anti-Israel activist's consulting firm
Fox News
Two Rashida Tlaib committees and the Squad Victory Fund dished out nearly $270,000 to a firm owned and operated by an anti-Israel activist during the 2022 midterm elections.
Many Squad members themselves have come under fire in the past over controversial remarks deemed antisemitic. Late last year, Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz set her sights on Tlaib after she claimed individuals couldn't be progressive if they support Israel. Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has repeatedly been in hot water over her Israel-related comments. Joe Schoffstall is a politics producer/reporter for Fox News Digital.

The Squad-linked money flowed to Mubarak's firm this past election cycle. Tlaib's campaign paid Unbought Power $179,000 for fundraising services in 2021 and 2022. At the same time, her leadership PAC, Rooted in Community Leadership, added $44,000 in payments, a Fox News Digital review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings found. Mubarak, meanwhile, also serves as treasurer of Tlaib's leadership PAC, according to its records.
