Rashida Tlaib slammed by House GOP over statement that Holocaust gives her 'kind of a calming feeling'
"House Republican leaders called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to "take action" against Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Sunday after Tlaib said that thinking about the Holocaust gave her "kind of a calming feeling."
Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to be elected to Congress, made the comments while discussing the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians during an appearance on the Yahoo News podcast "Skullduggery." "
Comments like those of Rep. Tlaib are disturbing to say the least. If any Republican, Conservative of even and independent said them there would be immediate call s from the Democrats for their ouster from office. I hear no such call being made. The silence is deafening. Not even a cricket chirp It must be wonderful to know you are allowed to say the most despicable things and your party will stand behind you. Yes I know Ms Tlaib has the right to say such as this. Having the rightdoesn't make it right.
