Article snippet: MoveOn, supported financially in part by leftist billionaire George Soros, sent the endorsement to the media via email, expressing why Tlaib should get a second two-year term in the House of Representatives. Tlaib is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress in the 2018 midterm election. She and her colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) have made controversial remarks on numerous topics, including U.S. support for Israel and discrimination against Muslims. Tlaib is also outspoken about backing the impeachment of President Donald Trump, including in a crude remark at a MoveOn event in January. New York magazine’s the Cut reported: “In her short time in Congress, Rep. Tlaib has already become a leader on progressive issues such as Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, strengthening voting rights and more,” Rahna Epting, chief of program at MoveOn, said of the endorsement. “And she’s been fearless in pushing Congress to hold this President accountable for his criminal and corrupt acts.” “The positive and bold progressive vision for our country that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib fights for every day is one that should be embraced by candidates everywhere,” Epting said. “Her fearless advocacy of progressive policies is galvanizing the public in her district and throughout the country.” Follow Penny Starr on Twitter.
