(Free Beacon) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) said the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS) is about criticizing the “racist policy” of Israel during a Sunday interview on CNN’s State of the Union.
“So you talk about the hate agenda and there is criticism of you from fellow Democrats, especially for your support for the BDS movement … It’s an anti-Israel movement,” host Jake Tapper asked.
“Well it’s criticizing the racist policy of Israel, and it’s a boycott,” Tlaib said.
Tlaib also had to be asked twice by Tapper about whether Israel has a right to exist.
“Do you think the Jewish people have the right to a state in the area where Israel exists now?” Tapper asked.
