Can you imagine the outrage if a Republican had a sponsored trip paid for by a White Extremist group?
Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar recently held a press conference to address ties with an anti-Semitic group as well as recent travel restrictions imposed on the two lawmakers.
On Monday, the congresswomen discussed Miftah, the anti-Israel group that promised to sponsor Tlaib’s trip. Miftah reportedly has a long history of anti-Israel and pro-terrorist sentiments similar to those held by Tlaib and company.
“All I can do as my city’s granddaughter, as the granddaughter of a woman who lives in occupied territories, is to elevate her voice by exposing the truth the only way I know how, as my Detroit Public Schools teacher taught me, by humanizing the pain of oppression congresswoman,” stated Tlaib.
The so-called “truth” she touts, however, seems to align with rhetoric of the organization, which has downplayed suicide bombings of Israeli citizens and has described the actions of terrorists as “sacrificing their lives for the cause.”
