Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D), who this week became the first Muslim Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress, has made an alteration to the map in her Washington, D.C., congressional office — and it involves Israel.
After Tlaib was sworn into Congress on Thursday, a BuzzFeed reporter touring Tlaib's new office noticed a "slight alteration" to Tlaib's map. A picture revealed that someone — it's not clear who — placed a sticky note near Israel. That same note included the word "Palestine" and an arrow pointing to the region.
Despite officially being a member of Congress for just two days, Tlaib has already stirred lots of controversy.
Perhaps most shocking was her claim — which she made on the very same day she officially became a sitting member of Congress — that "we're gonna impeach the motherf***er!" She was referring to President Donald Trump. Video of Tlaib's remarks went viral, triggering a wave of backlash.
Tlaib was also criticized on Thursday for inviting Linda Sarsour to her swearing in ceremony. Sarsour is widely believed to be vehemently anti-Semitic, and has recently found herself at the center of controversy involving anti-Semitism in the Women's March movement.
Meanwhile, Tlaib used a Qur'an belonging to former President Thomas Jefferson for her swearing in.
Makes me proud to be in Michigan....
Yeah slight my ass..she wiped Israel off the map and replaced her with “Palestine” which does NOT exist..these are the kinds of insane freaks running the House now..Jew hating Muslim commies
What a wretched, foul-mouthed, vile anti-Semite.
America, wake up.
There’s no such place as “Palestine”. This woman is a typical mucking Fuslim, believer in fantasies.
Who’s HEAD will she or her son be chopping off?? DESTINY!
The enemy within
How about her own?
Well, she is a LW progressive and most of them want Israel to be wiped off the map
No...they NEVER do that.
Ask her publicly about her views on homo movements!
Kewl, palestine is in the Nile delta! Who knew?
We will.
Whenever you hear anyone say “Free Palestine” what they are saying is “Kill all Jews” yep but 90 percent of American Jews will still vote Democrat
Jew hater as well.
That’s what happens when enough Mohammedans move into an area. They are unAmerican to the core.
What's the point? She'll just lie through her teeth.
This woman is a disgrace. If Republicans had any balls they'd hold her accountable for her "impeach the MF" comments. I'm not expecting any censure.
Most of America doesn't care. Most of those who do care aren't willing to sacrifice their current lifestyle.
I want someone to ask if her genitals were mutilated when she was young.
