Rep. Rashida Tlaib Friday rejected Israel’s offer to allow a “purely humanitarian” visit to her elderly Palestinian grandmother in the occupied West Bank.

The firebrand critic of Israel tweeted that she would not “bow down to their oppressive & racist policies.”

“Even though it looks like a dump truck parked on your face,”

LOL!!

Frankly, the Venezuelans look more oppressed than that group, sitting there on a lovely day, just having a conversation.

Perhaps I’m too harsh.

She doesn’t want to visit her grandmother.

She wants to use this trip to troll Israel, make them look bad and associate anything she makes up with Trump. Good for Israel in not letting her do what she wants.

I did not read Talibs latest statement. The way I “heard” it on CNN in the truck was that this would be the “last chance to meet her.”

I am just saying it was worded oddly—as if she had never met her before. That would be weird.

They won’t run as a Demorat Socialist Party because they need a cash flow to run. That’s why they hide under the Demorats umbrella.

This is where the quote came from, the Israeli minister:

“Last night, she sent me a letter asking to allow her to visit her 90-year-old grandmother ‘because this could be my last chance to meet her,’” said Deri. “I approved it for humanitarian reason, but it turns out that it was a provocation to embarrass Israel. Her hatred for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother.”

Emphasis mine.

Is this a Benny Hill skit?

[chris37]

I mean just look at that thing. Damn!

[Thank You Rush]

Good point...It’s amazing that the rest of us can live our lives without pandering to anyone for MONEY!!!! And they probably have no problem falling to sleep at night...
Disgusting!

[Chgogal]

This so-and-so is an evil lying Jihadist.

[GOPJ]

LOL - thanks

[southernindymom]

That’s my thoughts also. Way to go Israel!

Maybe granny would chastise her for using the term motherfonker.

Her 1st day in office she wiped Israel off her office map!....she has voiced support for the BDS movement, which seeks Israel’s destruction.....She regularly takes photos with leaders of terrorist groups who seek Israels destruction. Tlaib is a loyal ally to the Hamas-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). When she is not in Washington, D.C., Rep. Tlaib is usually jet-setting throughout the country on CAIR’s nationwide fundraising circuit. It appears to be something of a quid pro quo, as the Michigan congresswoman received massive donations from individuals associated with CAIR and other Islamist organizations.

So she doesn’t really want to see her 90 year old grandma

If that even is her grandma.

[Sam Gamgee]

Grandma was clearly a pawn. What a despicable creature.

“...What “race” is she talking about...”

That word is just a trigger word for liberal socialists...They can be talking about the weather and use the word “racist” just because they can...

Omar now calling the Minister a liar...
