Florida venue cancels rally with Palestinian American lawmaker Rashida Tlaib
Organizers said the event will move forward after the venue cited security concerns and pulled the booking.
- On Friday, The Venue Fort Lauderdale cancelled a 'Chomp the Oligarchy' rally featuring Democratic U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib, citing security concerns just days before Florida's August 18 primary.
- State Representative Michael Gottlieb and activist Laura Loomer pressured the venue, characterizing the event as an 'anti-Jew' gathering that specifically targeted Jewish incumbents Jared Moskowitz and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
- Gen-Z for Change claimed the venue issued an ultimatum to uninvite Tlaib, while attorney Russell Cormican stated the cancellation stemmed from organizers failing to disclose her attendance less than 24 hours before the event.
- Despite the cancellation, organizers vowed to move 'full steam ahead' with a rescheduled rally to support socialist candidates Oliver Larkin and Elijah Manley challenging establishment Democrats.
- This incident highlights ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party over Israel, as Tlaib—a vocal critic of the Israeli government—has faced similar venue cancellations at Arizona State University in November 2023.
