FL Lawmakers Soto, Mucarsel-Powell Received Funds From Muslim Group that Failed to Condemn Hamas

As the war rages on in the Middle East after Hamas slaughtered over 1,000 Israelis on Oct. 7, pro-Palestinian lawmakers in the United States – including Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) – have faced backlash. Now, it has come to light that Representative Darren Soto (D-FL) and candidate for Senate, former Representative Debbie Mucarsel-Powell both received donations from Emgage, a Muslim-American political action organization that has also donated to Rep. Tlaib.

Why is Emgage considered problematic to some?

In 2021, Emgage called on President Joe Biden (D) to “halt attacks on Palestinians” and said that the state of affairs at the time was “not a case of ‘both sides’” as the State of Israel is “the occupier.”
