High-profile Republicans are slamming Rep. Tlaib for using the words 'a calming feeling' when speaking about having that feeling while thinking about a safe haven being created for Jews after the Holocaust.

During an interview on Yahoo News’s"Skullduggery" podcast released Friday, Tlaib was asked about her support for a one-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.

A number of Republicans are slamming Tlaib for using the words"a calming feeling" when speaking about the Holocaust even though she appeared to say she had that feeling when thinking about a safe haven created for Jews after the Holocaust. Israel’s representative to the U.N., Ambassador Danny Danon, tweeted Sunday that Tlaib's"words are both grosslyTlaib responded to the backlash Sunday evening, tweeting that Republicans were twisting her comments.

Maybe tone the mfs. Down we need to show more class than he does. No apologies necessary “unless we can get apologies from him for all the people he has insulted.

She said nothing wrong! Read the whole statement. That's obviously too much for trump & his cult.

She’s a racist

No, they are talking about her revisionist history. Palestinians are known to have worked with Hitler to eradicate the Jews. Even if someone in her family hid Jews, she needs to be sensitive to the real history of what happened.

Another tlaib blunder

Unencumbered by the thought process.

Everything the libtards get criticized on is always taken out of context, and anything that President Trump says is made up and plain lies they say is the truth”HYPOCRITES”

Yeah, she said she felt calm knowing the Palestinian people opened up their land to Jews for a Jewish state. Wish opposition parties weren’t so quick to misrepresent their opponents. This is a dangerous game; death threats will follow for Rep. Tlaib.

She needs to Resigns

She's anti American and anti Israel has no place in congress

Actually, it's DECENT people who are REACTING, not republicans slamming.

Trump implusivity is more modern version of virtue of restraint of pen and tongue, being restrained of text (tweet) and send. Mentioning Trump and virtue in dame thought is bit oxymoronic.

What she said was ahistorical nonsense. The Palestinian Arabs did not create a safe haven. They allied with the Nazis during the war, tried to keep Jews out, and attempted to exterminate Jews after the war. She deserves to be called out for the untrue crap she said.

You may try to dress the wound all you what that we all know what this is about. America is watching.

Just stop reporting the Republican antics. They misrepresented what she said and you report as if they have legitimate concerns. You're either obtuse or complicit.

More lies from Dems. Very poor spin. Why would any Jew be a Dem? The party hates them.

In our pursuit to be right, we conviently forget much of the truth. Quick to judge, instantly portraying anothers thoughts incorrectly to advance our own views of politics, religions, to lash out in anger instead of thinking it thru and dismissing a real conversation. Twitter.

God bless the great nation of Israel!

Why don't you do your job and actually investigate the archives to see if the Arabs help create a safe haven for Jews. Because the facts are the opposite (pogroms, Mufti, lobbying Britain to keep out Jewish refugees). Clearly you wrote this post to defend her. Shame.

She says ignorant and evil hateful words and I still doesn't understand how she was elected

when do legislators that demean their oath of office and preach about contempt for America get removed from office, it has been done for much less$

So perhaps it was an insensitive way of saying what she wanted to say. However, we have heard worse from trump, his administration and Republican and democratic senators who don't do their jobs. Trump who invitesabd incites hatred on a world stage. She needs some guidance.

The people that voted her in should be ashamed of themselves!

why dod tlaib go to congress ? whst was her platform ?

Both Tlaib and Omar have a unfortunate habit of using rather indelicate language when discussing sensitive topics, and the right will jump at every opportunity to pile on and twist their words out of context to smear them.

Not one leader was concerned about the formation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank or Gaza from 1947-1967.' Palestinian Arabs are fine with 'occupation' (including Egypt and Jordan), just as long as those occupiers are Muslims, and not Jews.

Why did the Palestinians have to pay for the holocaust; this is the question they've always asked.

This woman should be DEPORTED!🖕😎🇺🇸☝️

Rashida Tlaib's Lies Remind Us Why Israel Must Exist. For Tlaib, the Holocaust was primarily a tragedy for the Palestinian people, who were unable to repel Jews’ immigration and stop the formation of a Jewish state.

She defends her remarks...but after several of these remarks we know how she feels

High profile Representative need to spend less time pandering to Fox TV and more time monitoring the crazed, erratic behavior of their representative in the WH

She is a history revisionist. None of that happened, they were completely against it. In fact, the Palestinians supported Hitler.

😴😴More GOPig agitprop.💤💤💤

Thank you for representing her actual words, and not just the partisan attempt to reframe them.

Tlaib and Ilhan can't go literally a week to month without saying sometbing or something from the past coming to haunt them about anti semetism. The patterns will keep cycling because that's just who these ppl are

Look at you defending someone you agree with politically, fake news

Why is the Fake News coming to her rescue? Why didn't they come to trump's rescue when DEMS and the Fake News were spreading lies about what he said in Charlottesville aka the 'Fine People' hoax? Oh yeah, because they were implicit.

This is such a joke of a headline.

As we all should!
