Legal group calls on Michigan bar to investigate, sanction Tlaib over anti-Israel rhetoric

FIRST ON FOX: A legal group called on the Michigan bar to investigate and sanction "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her antisemitic rhetoric.

The nonpartisan Coolidge Reagan Foundation is calling on the State Bar of Michigan to probe Tlaib, who is an active attorney in Michigan, over her comments.

Dan Backer, the foundation's counsel, told Fox News Digital that he believes people who spread "vile, antisemitic lies to foster hatred towards a people" should be held accountable.

Backer said Tlaib "clearly violated" the Michigan bar's ethics code with her rhetoric and that he was initially looking into "some of those snot-nosed kids" out of Harvard and Columbia law schools.

"I was reading … what she was saying, and I was like, ‘You know, this is really outrageous. How is this OK?’" Backer said. "And then I remember, 'Well, she's in Michigan, I wonder if she's a lawyer.'"

"And I looked it up, and she was," Backer continued. "And so we talked about it internally. We realized that people need to be held accountable."

Backer said the "fundamental problem" that America is seeing right now is that "people do horrible s--- and they're never held accountable for it."

He also said that "the sooner you start putting cameras on people's faces, they stop."

Backer noted the number of calls to the nonprofit Accuracy in Media - of which Backer is on the board - from Harvard students asking to have their name taken down from the organization's "so-called doxxing truck" for signing a letter in support of Hamas.

"When people see accountability for their bad actions, you get less bad actors," Backer said. "I think that's really essential, and probably this generation of whiny, little s---s has not really experienced yet."

How embarrassing to have that commie tramp called D-Mich when it is literally D-Detroit, Commie Conyers old seat he had for over 5 decades. The locals there are interested in only one thing and that is handouts of course. The Tramp’s voting record is exactly the same that Conyers would have so it can’t be any worse than it was, that’s the good news.

Tlaib’s alma mater, Cooley Law School, has been repeatedly characterized as “the worst law school in America.”

Rashida Tlaib -I-Mich. Her loyalty is to Islam.

Doesn’t Islam consider itself a state religious government? And if so, how can anyone who adheres to Islam and the teachings of Mohammed be loyal to or follow support another type of government? Unless of course, it’s to overtake and overthrow other forms of government and replace with Islam?

Also why is it considered insulting to call those who follow the believes of Mohammed, Mohammedans? It seems strange to call them something that doesn’t seem to indicate the origin of the beliefs? Just curious.
