(Free Beacon) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Friday came to the defense of an anti-Israel activist voted off the Women’s March board earlier in the week, telling her, “we have the truth on our side.”
Tlaib took to Twitter to defend Zahra Billoo, the executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Billoo, who was voted off the board after serving for two days, sent out a 25-tweet thread about the vote, where she blamed an “Islamophobic smear campaign” and “right-wingers” for the scrutiny she and her colleagues received.
“#FreePalestine always sis! They won’t silence us for speaking out against human rights violations,” Tlaib tweeted. “They will lie, smear our names and call us anti this and that, but we always be pro- humanity & we have the truth on our side. Stay strong @ZahraBilloo.”
