Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, was called out Monday after Palestinian activist Abbas Hamideh, a staunch defender of the terrorist group Hezbollah, posted photos of the two of them posing at her swearing-in ceremony in Detroit.
Mr. Hamideh tweeted a photo of himself Saturday with Ms. Tlaib along with the caption, “I was honored to be at Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib swearing in ceremony in #Detroit and private dinner afterward with the entire family, friends and activists across the country.”
Critics were quick to point out that Mr. Hamideh, a co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group Al-Awda, which means “right of return,” has a history of praising Hezbollah leaders such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and declaring that Israel has no right to exist.
In December 2015, Mr. Hamideh called convicted terrorist Samir Kuntar a “legendary Hezbollah martyr,” days after he was killed in an explosion in Damascus. Kuntar was convicted of murder and terrorism for his role in a 1979 attempted kidnapping that resulted in the deaths of four Israelis but was released in a 2008 Israeli-Hezbollah prisoner exchange.
Max Samarov, executive director for research and campus strategy of the pro-Israel group Stand With Us, said that Mr. Hamideh has a “long record” of incendiary rhetoric.
“Just one example: He called Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah ‘the most honorable man on earth,’” Mr. Samarov said, referring to a February 2016 social media post. “Hassan Nasrallah has made genocidal threats against Jews, he has actively aided the dictator Bashar al-Assad in the mass murder of the Syrian people.”
Mr. Samarov said he was unaware of any other member of Congress meeting with Mr. Hamideh. Ms. Tlaib’s office did not return immediately Monday a request for comment.

Yep. They eat each other.
An email alert from Fox just said House Reps removed Rep King from committee assignments. They’re gorging!
Islam means submission.
They mean for us all to submit.
Know Islam, No Peace
No Islam, Know Peace

Absolutely right, and the saddest thing is that they’re getting their hooks into our nation.
Those dirty dogs! Someone needs to removed meadows from his position, and replace him with someone like Steve King!
I mean McCarthy, not meadows.

No guns in the Capital, heck, can't bring them into DC. Terrorist supporters, that's a different matter. Kudus to all Democrats for supporting the concept.
Never, though the House or Senate can expel a member. Or refuse to seat them. It's against the law to provide support to a designated terror group like Hizbollah. Not suggesting either of them are. Whic might get a member expelled. but ineligible or disqualified, that's up to voters or the particular chamber.
How bad will it get before we the people start kicking these cultist murdering liars out of America? Or, has the die been cast?
