Rep. Tlaib Makes HORRIFYING Statement About Holocaust, House GOP Want Her Job
House Republicans are in an uproar over the latest comments from newly elected Representative Rashida Tlaib and rightfully so.
Now they’re calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to take action against Tlaib.
In an interview with Skullduggery, Tlaib made some anti-Semitic comments…again.
Tlaib said the following,
“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. 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.”
Representative Steve Scalise responded to her comments saying,
“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.
“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.”
As always, rather than considering that she said something she shouldn’t have, she sought to justify her words and go on the attack against those who spoke up about her comments.
Tlaib posted on Twitter,
Policing my words, twisting & turning them to ignite vile attacks on me will not work. All of you who are trying to silence me will fail miserably. I will never allow you to take my words out of context to push your racist and hateful agenda. The truth will always win.
