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.
"There’s 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 it’s clear this is now the norm for their caucus. It’s 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.
I’d rather her have “a real warm feeling when she stands before a firing squad”. I’ve been told by my wounded father-in-law (IWO), Vietnam vet friends, and others that a bulletin burns a lot when it goes thru you.
I hope she can confirm this before she dies a traitor’s death.
How is this new? Read Jimmy Carter’s statements on the subject.
It seems she said “calming feeling”. Either way its disgusting. I have met lots of lefties some who seem like great people until you get on the two subjects of hate. 1 is abortion 2 is Israel. Then the hate comes out.
The Germans and Muslims have a long association. They fought for the Kaiser in WW1 and served the SS in WW2. “Islam is the perfect religion for the warrior’’ said Heinrich Himmler.
Try elected President, only 7 years later.
Spoken like a true communist to whom murder is merely a tool.
Not to worry islam one day will get its warm feeling of the hot desert sun when they are all shutoff back in the middle east behind massive civilizing walls in the sand cesspits their barbarian ideology originated from. They can then murder each other freely.
Imagine YOU Rashida Tlaib being under the thumb of the 6th century mentality clerics you support so loudly. Women are merely beasts to them you might remember.
Hell will also give you a warm satisfying feeling no doubt ???
Perfect example of why women don’t belong in politics...
Folks, muslims want you dead...all of them, not just the trigger pullers and the suicide bombers. Most just do not admit it in public.

Lying Jew hating Democrat Congresswoman. The fact is the local Arabs were killing local Jews as often as they could, while the honored, revered war criminal Grand Mufti Of Jerusalem al Husseni was attending the Wannsee to plan the destruction of world Jewry, raising two SS divisions of Muslims and looking forward to this role serving Hitler eradicating the Jews of the Levant.
Warm feeling, you bet, channeling her inner terrorist bomber.
Solidarity with the muslim world. She’s not born of lowly kufir.

This is why no muzzie should ever be allowed to hold office in the US. These 8th century barbarians go against all that our values support. Deport them all....
They shouldn’t even be allowed to hold office for dog catcher.
Yet the Jewish vote will be overwhelmingly Democrat.
Be nice for her to get that “warm feeling” inside an oven.
Fakestinians have no homeland. They come from Eqypt, Syria and Jordan.
The MSM has decided to bow at Mohammed’s ass and kiss it. One day we will probably see Islamic jihad broadcast live from Rockefeller center, cutting their heads off and tossing them into the Ice Rink, and then burning down the Christmas tree. Like a Pitt bull owner nuzzling up to his dog, the moment before his face is ripped off.
It’s always a good idea to conceal carry with an extra clip during Islamic holidays. You never know where the next religious event may be celebrated, and if your wife and kids are targets, you’ll never forgive yourself if you didn’t come armed for the blessed event.
I’m the same way. I post mostly from my phone, and this dang predictive text on this phone is annoying and the spell check will automatically “correct” something I type despite it being spelled correctly in the first place.
I posted this a while ago:
“Limbaugh did a joke commercial on that, long ago.”
When I proofread it, the word “synagogue” appeared where “joke commercial” is. Beats me how that happened.
