Rashida Tlaib Blames Senior Democrats For Her Partnership With Terrorist-Linked Organization

A huge part of the reason Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar were barred from entering Israel was the fact that the organization sponsoring their trip has a long history of sympathizing with, and even aiding terrorists.

Ilhan and Rashida held a joint press conference today, and it was as absurd as you’d imagine. Nothing is their fault. They are always and FOREVER the victims.

Rashida, realizing that this entire thing has majorly backfired on her, isn’t taking any semblance of responsibility for any of it.

Instead, she’s crying, and blaming senior Democrats for somehow FORCING her to partner with terrorists. Or something.

According to Daily Caller:

Tlaib and Omar held a joint press conference on Monday to address the cancelled trip, which Israel barred the lawmakers from making on account of their support for the anti-Israel boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) movement.

Palestinian-based organization Miftah, which has terror ties and in the past promoted anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, was partially sponsoring the trip. Tlaib dodged responsibility for the partnership when asked about Miftah at the press conference.

“Our colleagues that are senior members, some of whom have served multiple terms, actually told us about the organization,” said Tlaib, who broke down crying at another point in the press conference.

So now we have a couple of options.

Either:

A) Senior members recommended the organization, Rashida and Ilhan looked into it, realized they had ties to terrorists, and were OK WITH IT, or

B) Senior members recommended the organization, and Rashida and Ilhan did absolutely NO research into the organization they planned to visit “Palestine” through, and blindly went along with it when they knew there was so much at stake.

HMMMM.

So either they’re cool with terrorist sympathizers, or they’re COMPLETE AND UTTER IMBECILES. Both are probably correct. Either way, the responsibility still falls on THEM – something they clearly have no concept of.

National Review writer David French described Tlaib and Omar’s partnership with Miftah as a “national scandal,” noting that Miftah had re-published neo-Nazi content and “actually published blood libel, posting an article that accused ‘the Jews [of using] the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.’”

Tlaib and Omar also faced criticism for promoting work from an anti-Semitic cartoonist on Instagram in response to the trip’s cancellation.

“Reps. Tlaib and Omar absolutely shouldn’t have lifted up the work of a cartoonist who frequently promotes hate toward Israel, mocks the Holocaust and traffics in #antiSemitic tropes. Doing so legitimizes his bigotry,” Jonathan Greenblatt, a former Obama administration official who now heads the Anti-Defamation League, wrote on Twitter.

So who is she going to blame for THAT?

Absolutely pathetic.

The fact that she can put her bigotry on such apparent display, and then turn around and call HERSELF the victim is just astonishing to me.
