(Hill) Comedian Bill Maher on Tuesday denounced Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) after she suggested people boycott his HBO show over his vehement criticism of the international movement to boycott Israel.
“Some people have one move only: boycott. Cancel. Make-go-away,” Maher said on Twitter, before noting that House Democrats earlier this year overwhelmingly approved a resolution to condemn the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. “Does Tlaib want to boycott 93% of her own party?”
The July House vote opposing the movement was actually 398-17.
Maher’s comments came as Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) continue to speak out over Israel’s recent decision to bar their entry during an upcoming trip overseas.
