Biden Disavowed Anti-Semite Linda Sarsour. Then His White House Hosted Her. | |

Watch the hands, not the lips.
Sarsour—who has compared Zionism to "white supremacy in America" and questions Israel’s right to exist—appears to have attended a White House celebration of Eid al-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that marks the end of the Ramadan fasting period. Sarsour joined around 400 others at a White House event that day, visitor logs show. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.), the Squad member who also has trafficked in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and championed anti-Israel priorities in Congress, attended as well. Sarsour’s appearance at the White House, which garnered little attention at the time, occurred just three years after the Biden campaign publicly cut ties with her over support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and long history of anti-Israel advocacy. She is one of several well-known anti-Semites to have been hosted at the White House in recent years, visitor logs show, even as the Biden administration claims to be combating an explosion of Jew hatred across America in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7 strike on Israel. Other White House partners have included the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), one of the primary advocacy groups driving anti-Israel unrest across the country.
