(Daily Caller) A House floor debate over a funding bill for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system devolved into a shouting match, with multiple members accusing Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib of anti-Semitism.
After left-wing Democrats successfully removed $1 billion for the Iron Dome from a continuing resolution to fund the U.S. government, Democratic Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro introduced on Wednesday a supplemental appropriations bill to provide the funding. The money would only go to fund the Iron Dome’s defensive capabilities, DeLauro and Democratic Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum clarified.
Republican Arkansas Rep. Steve Womack said he was not surprised that Democrats removed the funding, “given the openly anti-Semitic sentiments and comparisons of Israel and America to terrorist organizations expressed by some on the other side.” His comment was an apparent reference to Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s claim that Israel’s “unthinkable atrocities” should be mentioned alongside those of Hamas and the Taliban.
