(Daily Caller) Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib sent a tweet thread Wednesday about her memories of the September 11th, 2001, attacks by talking about Islamophobic phone calls she received while working at an Arab-American group.
“I will #neverforget 9/11. I was working at a nonprofit Arab American human services organization, ACCESS, while in law school. My day started like any other — until I heard gasps from coworkers in the lunch room. I rushed in and saw faces of shock facing the television,” Rep. Tlaib tweeted.
ACCESS stands for Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services. Their website describes the group as “the largest Arab American community nonprofit in the United States.”
