Yesterday, presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden took part in a call with Emgage Action, a far left political action committee, to drum up support for his White House bid from Muslim Americans.
The call, referred to as the Million Muslim Votes Summit, took place virtually and featured progressive Muslim voices that have been supportive of Biden and other Democrats. Emgage Action describes themselves as a "membership based 501c(4) that seeks to mobilize American Muslims to advocate for issues that define who American Muslims are by what they stand for."
The group, in partnership with their sister non-profit Emgage Foundation, primarily work to increase visibility for Muslims running for public office. In the case of Biden, whom they officially endorsed in April, they conceded to endorse the white guy less likely to ban Muslims from entering the country. Their exuberance for Biden, however, has been lackluster since he overtook Socialist Bernie Sanders as the most likely Democratic candidate.
On the Monday call, Biden was joined by none other than Linda Sarsour, a far-left activist who became famous for co-founding the Women's March after Trump's election. Sarsour has since been removed from her board position of that organization after years of anti-Semitic sentiment made it impossible for her to reconcile her position of a "progressive" "intersectional" women's movement.
