(Hill) President Trump on Monday accused Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) of harboring “tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people” in response to comments she made about the Holocaust.
Tlaib said in a recent interview that she has a “calming feeling” when she thinks about the genocide because her Palestinian ancestors “lost their land” and “lost their lives” amid an effort “to create a safe haven for Jews” in the Middle East, even though it was “forced on them” and took away their “human dignity.”
“Democrat Rep. Tlaib is being slammed for her horrible and highly insensitive statement on the Holocaust,” Trump tweeted. “She obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people. Can you imagine what would happen if I ever said what she said, and says?”
