Democrats Say REPUBLICANS Must Apologize to Tlaib for THEIR Reactions to Her Holocaust Comments

Though many have asked Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to apologize for her offensive comments about the Holocaust, Democrat leaders are not among them. BUT, Democrats are demanding that Republicans apologize for the way they reacted to her comments.

You can’t make this up.

This controversy began when Tlaib said on a podcast over the weekend that she had a “calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust because, as reported by Breitbart “she claimed (falsely), Palestinians had provided ‘a safe haven for Jews.’ Tlaib brought up the Holocaust in answer to a question about her support for a ‘one-state solution’ that would replace Israel with a Palestinian state.”

We all heard this bigots "calming feeling" comment about the Holocaust for exactly what it was.

And on top of that she's peddling lies about the creation of Israel and who facilitated it.

That's the bigger travesty of her anti-Semitic behavior and remarks.

I really hope Tlaib holds her breath for that apology. 

Then again, considering the nad-less condition some/most GOPers are afflicted with, it probably won't be that long of a wait.

Anyone apologizing to that bimbo deserves to be tarred and feathered!  She has no business in Congress.

Well I say to the Democrats, stick a red-hot poker where the sun don't shine.

Being a member of an accredited victim class provides at least two distinct benefits: accusation privileges and bullying rights. It enables a person so privileged to engage in any sort of behavior, no matter how egregious, with the full knowledge that they will not be held accountable for their actions or the results of their actions. And it then allows the same person to blame their behavior on any person or group deemed to be oppressive to them.

It's bunk to say this. JNS, Jewish News Service and on down the line, report how offensive what she said was. It's not just the GOP.

Late last night I actually 'streamed' about 15 minutes of Tucker Carlson and the focus was the DEM candidates apologizing...apologizing for who they are; female, white, privileged, American, etc.  Unbelievable that the DEMS are 'groveling' apologizing for being who they are. (Video at link below).

I for one refuse to apologize for being a White, Christian, American, Conservative, Female.  That is who I am. I am proud to be a white female.  I stand by my faith.  I am very proud to be an American and I stand by the Christian conservative principles upon which this country was founded.

Tlaib stated that she gets "a calming feeling" when she thinks of "the tragedy of the Holocaust.  She owns that comment.  That comment defines who she is ... either you agree with her or you don't.  IF, that isn't what she said, or not what she meant then SHE should be the one correcting that statement and apologizing!!!

That is a perfect example of passive-aggressive behavior, self-loathing, and also of virtue-signaling.  The people you mention are not as interested in apologizing as they are in accusing. Their purpose is to proudly disavow not merely their own identities, but that of their country.

Tell Ms. Tlaib to pound sand.

Which is where she belongs anyway -- back on the desert sands somewhere.

Addendum to Ghost:
GREAT quote from the greatest man of the 20th century!
