Democrats in Congress have rallied behind Michigan representative Rashida Tlaib after Republicans, citing her recent comments about Israel and the Holocaust, accused the congresswoman of being an antisemite. Top Democrats forcefully defended Tlaib, marking another acrimonious showdown over perceptions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. Republicans seized on Tlaib’s remarks about the role played by her Palestinian ancestors in creating a safe haven for Jews after the Holocaust gave her a “calming feeling”.

Steny Hoyer, the No 2 Democrat in Congress and a strident supporter of Israel, also rushed to Tlaib’s defense.

To me that’s exactly like saying “Steny Hoyer, the No 2 Nazi in Congress and a strident supporter of Israel, also rushed to Tlaib’s defense.”

A Nazi cannot be a “strident supporter of Israel”.

Neither can a democrat.

it is becoming clearer and clearer just how Nazified the D party really is

the problem is not just 2 or 3 Nazis who somehow managed to sneak in,

the problem is the D party has been rotted out at the core
and must have its Swamp Drained if USA is ever to have honest elections or any kind of decency in our government again (after PDJT)

There is no context in which expressing a “warm feeling” about the Holocaust isn’t absolutely vile.

The great mystery to me is the American Jewish populous keeps on voting Democrat when they keep on getting the shaft from the Democrats

You know I’ve become extremely frustrated and weary of Christians being physically attacked throughout the world by various factions, and nothing is ever said by so-called elites or the media to chastise or hold the attackers to account. These attacks are carried out by actual killers and not as mere words of non-political correctness.

I suspect that a lot of Jews also had that ‘comfortable feeling’, after the gas took effect - since, they then didn’t seem to mind much being thrown into the ovens.

The whore didn’t misrepresent anything.
She hates Jews, Christians, Buddhists and anyone else who doesn’t follow the prophet.
The Democrats should stop defending her. All she means to them is a vote.

My Jewish in-laws blame the Republicans for what this moron says about the Jews and Israel. They live in the “orange man bad” world and there is no changing them.
