Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaign said it has nothing to do with former Women's March leader Linda Sarsour, after she was seen participating in the Democratic National Convention.

Sarsour and Tamika Mallory were kicked out of the Women's March organization due to concerns of anti-Semitism following statements against Israel and claims that Jewish activists were being excluded from the movement. Sarsour has also been a vocal supporter of the BDS movement that calls for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against Israel.

"Joe 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," Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement, referring to Sarsour. "She has no role in the Biden campaign whatsoever."

Okay. So Biden’s campaign is distancing itself from Sarsour. But is Biden still open to groping her? The article doesn’t say.

[pas]

So he had no clue she would be participating in an entirely virtual event where things have to be nailed down?

I’m sure he’s sniffed her hijab.

[NohSpinZone]

So no longer an useful idiot, Sleepy?

[umgud]

Joe’s handlers seem to believe differently. She didn’t just show up.

He already gets all but 24% of the voters among Jews.
This cold political calculation might show a seepage there but probably not. My very last possible reason would be honesty from him (ok, ok laugh, it is funny).

Could there be votes in being against an anti-Semite like Sarsour? Must be. Will he lose Muslims to gain them?

Sarsour shouted a speech at the Women’s March on Washington Jan, 2017.”I stand here as an unapologetic Muslim.”

Wasn’t it AOC who had her directly behind her at the podium sometime? Or some other Dem? I know she was in the honored guests section, though.

Caption for the Squad picture....

Not just another pretty face.

[Fiddlstix]

Good One!

[a fool in paradise]

Will he denounce her specfically?

[Fedora]

Maybe she was following up on her call with Biden during his July 20 talk at the Million Muslim Voters Summit: Biden vows to end Trump travel ban, ‘Islamicphobia’ in call with Linda Sarsour

[P-Marlowe]

he obviously condemns her views

Let’s hear that from Biden’s own mouth not through some lackey surrogate.

Biden doesn’t know what planet he’s on. He has no idea what Sarsour said, nor could he form an opinion about it.

[SunkenCiv]

What happened, did he figure out what her words mean?

As Fedora correctly notes in post 13, that's a lyin Joe moment, he has consulted with Linda by phone. Not in person since he can't smell her hair. Not mentioned in the article, the third founder of the Democrat supported Woman's March, a convicted terrorist and murderer, Rasmieh Odeh, aka Rasmea Yousef, Rasmieh Steve, and Rasmieh Joseph Steve. Being released from a life sentence in Israel, she immigrated to the US illegally. Pled guilty, and was deported to Lebanon. No terrorists there.
