Rep. Scholten votes for legislation that would allow the federal government to attack Non-Profits, legislation that has been championed by Trump

The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act would grant the Treasury Department—soon to be under the control of a Trump nominee—the authority to unilaterally strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status by deeming them supporters of terrorism.

Fortunately, the legislation was defeated in the US House of Representative, yet 52 Democrats still voted for it, with 5 of them being from Michigan – Rep. Scholten, Rep. Slotkin, Rep. Stevens, Rep. Dingell and Rep. Thanedar. 

In a recent article from The Intercepted, it states:

The bill prompted stiff opposition from advocates for civil liberties. A wide array of civil society groups advocated against the measure in a campaign led by the American Civil Liberties Union. Critics worried that the bill was specifically designed to go after pro-Palestine groups, citing the numerous accusations of support for terror lobbed at protesters in the year since October 7 and Israel’s devastating war in Gaza.

The fact that Scholten voted in favor of this legislation should not be surprising, since it is consistent with her unconditional support for Israel and their Zionist policies, which GRIID has been documenting since she took office in January of 2023. (See below)

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who vocally opposed the legislation, wrote that “these 52 Democrats voted to give Trump the power to shut down any nonprofit he wants.The NAACP, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, no organization would be safe,” Tlaib added. “Shameful.”
