Nancy Pelosi gave a full-throated defense of Rashida Tlaib

Nancy Pelosi gave a full-throated defense of Rashida Tlaib after Trump and Republicans called her Holocaust comments anti-Semitic

...snip...

During an interview with Yahoo's "Skullduggery" podcast released on Friday, Tlaib said, "There's kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports." ...snip...

Tlaib's comments may have glossed over the complexities of the history of the region, but a number of Republicans parsed her words to accuse her of portraying the Holocaust in a positive light. The freshman lawmaker had specifically referred to the Holocaust as a "tragedy."

Republican Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, for example, in a statement said there's "no justification for the twisted and disgusting comments made by Rashida Tlaib ... More than six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust; there is nothing 'calming' about that fact."

"Unfortunately, this is far from the first display of heinous anti-Semitic comments coming from Democrat House members this year, and it's clear this is now the norm for their caucus," Scalise added.

Similarly, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming also falsely accused Tlaib of stating that thinking of the Holocaust gives her a "calming feeling."

President Donald Trump followed their lead in a tweet on Monday, stating that Tlaib "obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people."

Later in the day, Pelosi tweeted, "Republicans' desperate attempts to smear @RepRashida & misrepresent her comments are outrageous." Pelosi further called on Trump and Republicans to apologize to Tlaib and the "American people" for their "gross misrepresentations."

Can't post them all. Too lazy to post the titles. A small piece of the coverage. Steny Hoyer agrees with Nancy. After all history is written by the living, the past matters not at all. It can be distorted and erased, even created out of thin air. Many of the tyrants of the last century knew that.

nobody can lose their land when they were Fakestinian Occupiers to begin with

and for Nancy Pelousy to defend this Anti-American, Anti-Semitic Beetch is absolutely DISGUSTING!!

But Nan works for SorozNazi, the Puppetmeister of the new DNC

so she knows which side of her bread is buttered
and she will now forever tow the Nazi/IslamoNazi line, ALAS!

Hoping praying the Pelousy can be replaced ASAP! She is such an embarrassment to USA with all her lies and ugly manipulations (such as doctoring the “certification” papers to get Obama elected ... lecturing the Pope ... no less... about how she pushes abortions...... and forcing Zero=care down USA’s throats without even letting our elected representatives read the damned bill)

Praying Pelousy can be retired ASAP!

Nancy got orders. The question is who did they come from.

Just a guess but they didn't come down from the Muslim Brotherhood or CAIR, they came from the Party's commie overlords who are using the Muslims.

Hey, Nanzi:

“There’s kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust....”

is NOT anything BUT anti-Semitic. I’ve known many people, including my wife’s uncle, who had numbers tattooed on their arms. “Calming” is NOT a word that I would use to describe how I, or any decent person of any faith, would talk about the Holocaust. “Rage” is more like it, YOU TWIT!

PHUCK YOU, NANZI!!!!! PHUCK your whole treasonous party!!!

Tlaib is probably backed directly by CAIR and indirectly by the Muslim Brotherhood. As you said, Soros is also behind her.

That said, I don't think Soros is the head of the commie movement. One of the heads perhaps, but not the only head.

'Nancy Pelosi gave a full-throated'

That stopped me in my tracks right there. And I think I threw up a little in the back of my mouth. Gads.

I nominate Pelousy for Alzheimer's Poster Child of the year. No person who has their mental faculties intact could possibly hear what that shmatta-head said and then support her---unless they agreed with her.

This only goes to show how deeply infested with anti-semitism and anti-Israel sentiment the new dummocraps really are. If we don't take serious notice of this and follow up with action, we're gonna look like Germany in short order.

Let us make no mistake about it:

A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!

America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!
