Under Howard Kohr's leadership, AIPAC has actively opposed Rashida Tlaib's re-election campaigns and publicly condemned her statements on Israel-Palestine, with Kohr accusing Tlaib of promoting 'divisive' and 'antisemitic' rhetoric. In 2020, AIPAC's super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent millions to support Tlaib's primary opponent, Detroit City Council President Brenda Jones. Tlaib has coordinated with other progressives to attack the Kohr-led AIPAC's role in U.S. politics, including efforts to counter its influence through resolutions and public statements.
