Tlaib's campaign paid out over $100K to a firm founded by defund the police, anti-Israel activist

The campaign of "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has paid out over $100,000 for "fundraising consulting" to a Florida-based progressive firm founded and operated by a defund the police and anti-Israel activist, campaign filings show.

Rasha Mubarak, the Palestinian-American activist who founded Unbought Power in March 2020, has been involved in grassroots advocacy for over 15 years and has assisted with Tlaib's political career over the course of the last decade. In March 2019, Mubarak tweeted that she "mobilized" her first political fundraiser 9 years earlier and said it was for Tlaib, who responded that she "can't wait" to organize a political fundraiser for her.  Mubarak, who has publicly called for defunding the police multiple times, tweeted back in April that she believes the United States should "abolish the police." In two separate tweets from July 2020, Mubarak called for Orange County to "defund the police."  The Florida activist has also tweeted about her involvement with Dream Defenders, an activist group that was co-founded by self-described socialist and former Bernie Sanders surrogate, Phillip Agnew.
