“In the Middle East, violence against Jews may be tolerable. In America, where Tlaib – running unopposed after her primary win – and is set to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, it is not. In fact, all types of political violence are denounced in America. The violent political left seems to have missed the memo.”


Congress does NOT have to seat her - and if they DO, then they are accomplices to her actions. EVERYONE HERE should contact their House member and urge them - near the end of December - to vote against seating this scumbag.

Congress does NOT have to seat her...

Yes, it does. This was decided half a century ago in Adam Clayton Powell v. US House of Representatives. The Supreme Court ruled that as long as all state laws concerning the election were followed, the House must admit the person elected. It has no discretion in the matter.

However, once admitted, the House can expel that member by a two thirds vote.
