WASHINGTON, D.C. – The “vile poison of anti-Semitism” that President Trump referred to in his recent State of the Union speech has clearly invaded Congress.
Democrat Rashida Tlaib from Michigan, one of two Muslim women elected to Congress, supports the replacement of Israel with a Palestinian state. Tlaib said, “A lot of my strength comes from being Palestinian.” After she won her primary race last year, she published several anti-Israel tweets and re-tweeted a fan who declared that Tlaib’s “first fight was for Palestine, always Palestine.”
