(Hill) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) expressed frustration over how Democratic leadership is handling criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), saying the freshman congresswomen are “ignored” when they speak up about issues that are important to them.
“They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse,” she tweeted Saturday.
“However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored,” she continued, quote-tweeting a California state legislative staffer who criticized “the attacks on @IlhanMN and subsequent lack of support from Democratic leadership.”
