Just when we think that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) couldn't get any more anti-Semitic, she proves us wrong. Her latest remark is rather cringeworthy too. During an interview with Yahoo News' podcast "Skullduggery," she explained her take on the Holocaust.
"Theres always kind of a calming feeling, I 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," Tlaib said.
"And, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And, I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways, but they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them."
Republican leaders were quick to slam Tlaib's comments, and rightfully so.
"There is no justification for the twisted and disgusting comments made by Rashida Tlaib just days after the annual Day of Holocaust Remembrance. More than six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust; there is nothing 'calming' about that fact," House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) said in a statement. "Unfortunately, this is far from the first display of heinous anti-Semitic comments coming from Democrat House members this year, and its clear this is now the norm for their caucus. Its long past time for Speaker Pelosi to take swift action and make it clear that these vile comments have no place in Congress."
House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) "to finally take action against Representative Tlaib and other members of the Democratic caucus who are spreading vile anti-Semitism."
"All of us, regardless of party, must stand as Americans against the evil of anti-Semitism," Cheney said. "If the Democratic leadership continues to stand by in silence, they are enabling the spread of evil. History teaches us that anti-Semitism begins with words and becomes something far worse. Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer must act now."
I'm honestly not sure what's more disgusting: the fact that Tlaib made these comments or that Democrats have to tip toe around anti-Semitism instead of calling out and condemning those who threaten the Jewish people.
Democrats claim to be the party that stands up on behalf of minorities. They claim to represent women and minorities yet here they are, allowing multiple members of Congress to continually say things that hurt a minority group: Jews.
We, as a nation, need to take a long, hard look at ourselves and our beliefs when this type of hate speech is being protected. It was this kind of logic, this belief that one group of people are more superior than another, that got us into the Holocaust to begin with. It's a dangerous road to go down and one we should know better to toy with. Every anti-Semitic remark made is a new seed of racism and hatred that's being planted.
Tlaibs positions are fully supported by the liberal American Jews. The notion that her statements are anti-Semitic is anathema to the likes of Shoomah and Spielberg. The liberal Jew would crawl over glass to raise money for and vote for this woman.
Someday shell get a warm feeling. Called the Lake of Fire.
They are now in the "wire". This country better wake up.

OK...that pretty much does it! No this is NOT real. No way.
There’s been some speculation out there that this harpie along with AOC are bought and paid for by the Trump (master showman) gang to illustrate and bring front to center the utter absurdity, if not evil, tenets of the leftists. Side show freaks.
I’ve maintained here that Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen were also well paid and placed distractions. Both have made so many over-top-statemants that have bent credulity...two wadded up aluminum foil balls for the MSM to chase while Trump steals their candy.
Add the Somalian to Trump’s carnival cast.
Democrats are silent because they agree with her but they’re too cowardly to say what they’re thinking.
Who would have thought on 9/11/2001 that in less than 18 years there would Muslim terrorists elected to Congress
“... yet here they are, allowing multiple members of Congress to continually say things that hurt a minority group: Jews....”
Let her work it out with her jewish comrades..Nadler, Deutch, Feinstein, Schumer, Cohen....the vilest people on the face of the earth.
Shes going to have a real warm feeling when she stands before the Judgement Throne.
I wish she would fall down.

This IS the new demoncratic party. Finally coming out of the closet on this issue.
Get used to it! You are gong to have a very warm eternity!
This one was spawned in hell. The fire is its friend.
AOC is a clown...Omar is a stooge.
Tlaib is a cold blooded psychopath.
Her ancestors did not have Palestinian passports to lose since Palestine did not exist. Now it’s made up of rabble that various Arab countries didn’t want and banished to what is now called Palestine. I wonder what Palestine means in Arabic - camel turds?
She fled Transomalia.
I can't wait to hear the Democrats try to cover for this.
how could a non-existent people be her ancestors?
at any event, nobody lost their land except the Jewish people, who even today suffer from most of their Promised Land being Occupied by foreigners
this awful immoral liar needs to be removed from the House (should NEVER have been seated, and Pelosi could, should not see to her ejectment..pronto! Like, its not enough that we are stuck with a bunch of Anti-American trashmouths in Congress already?!)
Yes, there was a land area called Palestine. The Ottoman Turks ruled it until the end of WWI. Then Britain ruled it. At the end of WWII Britain was again in control. Jewish terrorists forced the Brits to decide to Vacate. The bombing of the King David Hotel was an example.. When the British pulled out the surrounding Arab countries claimed they were going to wipe out every living person in the land. Many Arabs living in what is now Israel left. These people were hosted by the Arab nations in temporary settlements. When the Israels stopped the Arabs the Temporary settlements became permanent. The people occupying those settlements are the Palestinian . The Arabs who took them in have not offered them homes etc. The Arabs use them as a weapon against Israel and teach them to hate. The Arabs that stayed and didnt go into the camps are citizens of Israel. One Palestinian I knew was complaining about Israel, his uncrowned the entire Toyota distribution for Israel. Gee , I want to be persecuted like that!
“I will leap laughing into my grave knowing I have the blood of millions of Jews on my hands.” - Adolf Eichmann, 1944
Darn autocorrect. His uncle owned the entire Toyota distribution for Israel.
