Less than a week after issuing a profanity-infused call to impeach President Trump on her first day in office, Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib is under fire from Republican politicians and commentators for openly posting what they call an anti-Semitic slur on Twitter.
Top Republicans in the Senate are also alleging that Democratic leaders are hoping to hide the fact that Tlaib is just one of many new Democratic politicians in Congress who harbor deeply anti-Israel views.
Tlaib, responding to post by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders on Monday, suggested that Senate Republicans were more loyal to Israel than the U.S., amid a report that GOP leaders were planning to introduce a bill that would punish companies that participate in the so-called "Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions" (BDS) global movement against Israel. BDS proponents seek to pressure Israel through economic and other means -- often, until Israel ceases to exist in its current form.
"They forgot what country they represent," Tlaib, a Palestinian-American who made history last week by becoming one of the first two Muslim women to ever serve in Congress, wrote.
"This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right & part of our historical fight for freedom & equality. Maybe a refresher on our U.S. Constitution is in order, then get back to opening up our government instead of taking our rights away," she added.
The posts by Sanders and Tlaib criticized Senate Republicans for planning to introduce the "Strengthening Americas Security in the Middle East Act of 2019," a pro-Israel series of bills, instead of legislation to end the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, which entered its 17th day on Monday.
The package of legislation includes provisions reauthorizing the United States-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015, and providing for new sanctions against Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria.

Ain't no such animal as a "Palestinian".
To find out that a Muslim Jihadi Congress Critter who had Israel removed from her office map of the world would say something anti-semitic!
Get he to spew her guts about gays and lesbians! That should be real interesting to the rest of the democrats.
Muzzies in Congress. The House on The Hill will never be the same.
You’re absolutely right!
This Radish person is the spitting image of Al Franken.
Prediction: The raghead won’t serve out her full term.
She might end up serving a full term...in custody.
Who are these Republicans you are describing? Were they the opposing party of the Democrats at one time? I think I remember them now that you mention it.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
..................
Rashida would argue that though using a classic antisemitic slur, she was actually accusing all conservatives and supporters of Israel as being disloyal to the US, not just Jews. Making a name for herself.
What do you expect from the Palestinian Jihadist b*tch..she hates Israel, she wants Israel wiped off the map..and the Dems adore her because they agree with her, they BOOED Israel in 2012 or have people forgotten about that
I like the way you think, great idea. A lot of gays have already been red-pilled about the Dems over their alliance with the Islamics.
Really?
A muslim who is anti-semitic!
I’m shocked!

We incarcerated all the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. We should do the same since 911.
Mebbe....nothing like closing the barn door after the horse gets out.
The kids who will be voting in November were sucking t!t on 9/11/01.
We incarcerated all the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. We should do the same since 911.

What did the Japanese have to do with 9/11?
(Sorry, couldn’t resist)<: <: <:
Like telling everyone that taking MY gun will stop murders.
My answer to that ‘question’ is
So if we cut off YOUR TALLYWHACKER does it mean rapes will stop?
I wonder how much security Members of Congress have to go through for the State of the Union address? Tlaib sounds and looks like someone who might try real violence against Trump.
What was the slur?
I tend to agree, besides her supposed religion she sounds like someone with a few screws loose.
