Rep. Tlaib: ‘I’m more Palestinian in the halls of Congress than I am anywhere … in the world.’Conservative Review, Apr 17, 2019, Jordan Schachtel
Video has surface of newly enshrined Democratic congresswoman Rep. Rashida Tlaib proudly proclaiming that she feels more Palestinian in the U.S. Congress than anywhere in the world.
“Honestly I’ve never felt more Palestinian than I ever felt in Congress,†the Michigan congresswoman said in a speech earlier this week addressing the far-left Michigan Coalition for Human Rights. “Even in Palestine when I’m visiting my grandmother, I’m more Amrikiin, American, to the Palestinians. But I’m more Palestinian in the halls of Congress than I am anywhere in the country, in the world. And that just tells you just the fact that they weren’t ready for us. They really weren’t.â€
Tlaib proudly celebrates her self-proclaimed Palestinian heritage, but when it comes to her Jewish colleagues and supporters of Israel, she rejects their right to do so, often using language that amounts to advancing anti-Semitic dog whistles and conspiracy theories.
She has accused her colleagues in Congress who support Israel of having dual loyalties, a popular anti-Semitic canard that claims Jews are not sufficiently loyal to the United States.
Most of the Michigan congresswoman’s tenure in the U.S. Congress has been highlighted by two primary issues: her advocacy for Palestinian priorities and her regular, but failed, attempts to build a coalition around impeaching President Trump.
