Rep. Tlaib Rejects Offer To Visit Israel Under 'Oppressive Conditions' | Hallie Jackson | MSNBC
It’s certainly a sign of terrible weakness by Trump, calling on another country to take action against his political opponents who he’s been cravenly racist about. That’s not what a worthy leader does, regardless of your political outlook or which party, if any, you support.
Absolutely
100% right.
It’s disgusting.
Trump is not a true Republican, he would switch parties if he thought he could manipulate things to his advantage.
Hateful repression rises as the core of the Trump presidency.
@Terri Jones
Then do America a favor. And put a fking Gun in your mouth and pull the trigger. Make the sound of music.. BANG .. !! SPLAT !!
Terri Jones what a spoiled brat comment.
@Bobby Nelson you are just one more person who should never be allowed within ten feet of a gun. I think gun background checks should include a review of all public internet comments. That would solve a lot of problems.
@Bobby Nelson sounds like a splendid idea but why don’t you go first slick?
It’s strangely cathartic for this whole thing to backfire on a man who believed he couldn’t lose.
What is Ilhan Omar real name?
Immigration fraud
why would Israel let Ilhan Omar on their soil, when they know she entered the US as a fraudulent member of the Omar family and her Father was Top Propaganda Official in Genocidal Barre Regime!
@texas thunder – When is the last time you were able to see your feet?
If any still following Donny Dumbo you’re a fascist plain and simple. Logic doesn’t matter, he just come out and lie every day!!🤪
As always with trump,the art of distraction,it is absolutely the only thing that he understands, and is good at.
He also likes to lie although to a sane non-Trump supporter he’s not very good at lying but he gives it the good old college try.
I’m a Jew.. Trump and Yahu’s actions over these 2 Muslim females is just dumb… They’re 2 woman…. What are you afraid of Israel!!!!
Israel is a terror cell 🙋
So it was not about visiting her granmother!! She simply wanted to go to spew hate!
…and score political points with her uneducated fan base.
Israel has effectively morphed into exactly the same type of totalitarian, racist state that many of them fled from during WWII. Good job, Netanyahu.
Where you ever there?
The occupation started long before Nuttyyahoo.
Not even close. But keep bullshitting. It shows how dumb the supporters of the enemies of Israel are
Anything near Trump sooner than later turns into Unavoidable, and Inescapable crap💩!
Smart move I wouldn’t go either.
Good for her standing up to the Orange Goblin but I feel bad that she’s missing out on visiting her Grandmother.
She was more interested in meeting up with Omar to promote their boycott
Trump told them to go back to their countries and now he’s telling those countries not to let them in. And yes, one is Palestinian and has a grandmother living there so Israel, Palestine, Somalia are their countries. Thanks.
Trynp is Abusing his power & Terriorizing Americans & interfering with there freedom to travel , visit family or what ever!!!
Sherri Greeydelinarez nope
He is our “Buffoon & Chief”. We cannot get rid of him soon enough !
Oh Tlaib you are the hateful anti Semite that wants to destroy Israel and now that you’ve been disgraced for your racism you want to try and play the victim and race card haha
So pathetic and predictable,,,,,
The democrats should be ashamed for having such anti Semitic hate in Congress, their members are now being banned from other country’s because of it.
These women continuously trashing Israel get them out of my Congress please I beg
Israel shouldn’t have refused the Congresswomen. But Tlaib should go. She can’t have it both ways. It’s her duty to go. As for Omar, she’s truly antisemitic. Antisemitism is rampant in Islam. It’s unchecked. Whatever you read on Youtube from commentators is almost always hate filled rhetoric and stereotypes from Muslims and Christians of every color, and Muslims often don’t even know when they’re being antisemitic. This rhetoric is rampant and normalized. Christians likely at least know when they’re saying something antisemitic. Omar doesn’t know and neither do young Jewish people who think she’s awesome. The relationship between Jews and Palestinians is more nuanced. A Palestinian likely knows Jews personally. If they hate or love, they probably have personal relationships that coincide with their feelings. Tlaib likely is antisemitic but she knows when a comment steps out of bounds and into Loony JewHaterVille, so she avoids those comments and Omar does not. My opinion is Tlaib needs to go to Israel. It’s more important than making by not going. The statement is too easy and going would be the harder but better work.
♦️♦️👁👁TRE45ON KLEPTOCRAT in CHIEF 👁👁♦️♦️
She gets off on Palestinian jihadists murdering Israelis.
Death to Israel!!!
What the heck? Last night she vowed to fight…. now she won’t go??? She wanted to keep her victim status.
