Terry McAuliffe Touts Endorsement From Anti-Israel Group

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe welcomed an endorsement from an activist group that staunchly defends the anti-Israel boycott movement, calling into question his past opposition to the campaign. In a June tweet, McAuliffe said he was “tremendously grateful” to have “the support and endorsement” of Emgage Action, a Muslim-American advocacy group that has described Israel as an “apartheid” state and routinely lobbies in favor of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS). According to the group’s website, Emgage asks “every candidate” seeking an endorsement “questions related to Palestine, settlements, and the right to boycott,” which make up a “key part” of its “endorsement process.”..
