Representatives Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota were hailed as symbols of diversity when they were sworn in last month as the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, Ms. Tlaib in her mother’s hand-embroidered Palestinian thobe, Ms. Omar in a tradition-shattering hijab.
Four weeks later, their uncompromising views on Israel have made them perhaps the most embattled new members of the Democratic House majority. Almost daily, Republicans brashly accuse Ms. Tlaib and Ms. Omar of anti-Semitism and bigotry, hoping to make them the Democrats’ version of Representative Steve King as they try to tar the entire Democratic Party with their criticism of the Jewish state.
And while Democratic leaders publicly defend them, some Democratic colleagues are clearly uneasy. Representative Ted Deutch, Democrat of Florida and a founder of a bipartisan task force to combat anti-Semitism, said some of the lawmakers’ comments “fall into longstanding anti-Semitic tropes.” When Ms. Omar was named to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, its chairman, Representative Eliot Engel of New York, told her privately that he would not allow some of her “particularly hurtful” remarks to be “swept under the rug,” Mr. Engel said.

If the people they represent are as hateful and disgusting as these two this country has a real problem.
“hoping to make them the Democrats’ version of Representative Steve King”
Not even in the same ballpark Slime balls.
The critical mass where the democrat party tears itself apart.
Just wait until she starts talking about homosexuality...
...she might do it from a rooftop.
I like the idea that they cant keep their mouths shut and they are comfortable with their spewing of hatred. Makes our job easier
Note:...Nancy and Chuckie remain silent
Democrats booed God and Israel at the DNC convention on national television. The Democrats OWN Jew hatred. It is what their party represents in politics.
Absolutely, no comparison, these women full of hate will lead us into more division. And Democrats blame Trump for dividing the nation.¡¡¡
AOC put a post-it note on a world map in her office and covered up Israel with a label saying Palestine.
You don’t have to be a muslim to be a Democrat in good anti-semitic standing.
There is a whole month for them to celebrate Gay Pride Marches. Daily statements from these Representatives.
And allegedly Israeli researchers have discovered the cure for cancer, which should be available in a year. I hope the docs are able to pick and choose the recipients of the meds. “Muslims need not apply.”
Being muslim is a cancer. Cure for that is dunk head in a bucket of super glue for a minute.
It looks like Muslims are now edging their way being into a race onto themselves. Just a generation ago, people from the Middle East were clearly excluded from affirmative action policies. I was a recruiter for a large multi-national corporation which, of course, had to have bureaucratic rules for everything. We were required to identify candidates by their skin color, without using their skin color as an identifier. Major groups to be given advantages were Asian, African-American, and Hispanic.
The problem was in identifying "Asians". As one moves westward from Japan, through China, to India, to the Middle east, skin color changes. To the bureaucracy, to identify an "Asian" without using skin color, location of birth became the identifier. Anyone born east of the Ganges river was "Asian", anyone born west of it was white. This makes a vast percentage of Muslims "White".
Of course, "Asians" now are considered to be more advantaged than even whites, so they are no longer to be given special consideration. In this tennis game of skin color, I guess it's now: advantage, Muslims.
Muslim is as muslim does...
“Bucket of glue”. Yup; that’ll do it!
Sherly you jest, NYT. You’ve never met an anti-semite you don’t like.
Oh, they are - and just imagine their views on THIS country.
I love seeing Muslim women swaddled in their Jawa outfits pretending to be liberal - they wave their shackles in our faces and taunt us.
The same scum who accused Trump of being antisemite put these racist radical antisemite 3rd worlders on a pedestal.
Ms MoFo and the Sister Wife deserve no quarter.
