Trump, top Republicans attack Rep. Tlaib over comments on Israel and Holocaust

President Donald Trump on Monday joined top House Republicans in attacking Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for her recent comments on the Holocaust and Israel while several top House Democrats are coming to her defense.

In an interview Saturday on Yahoo's podcast"Skullduggery," Tlaib, one of the first two Muslim women in Congress, spoke about her support for a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "There is no justification for the twisted and disgusting comments made by Rashida Tlaib just days after the annual Day of Holocaust Remembrance," Scalise said in a statement."More than six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust; there is nothing ‘calming’ about that fact."

She added,"Anti-Semitism has no place in our society and any effort to try to sow hate and divisiveness into our political discourse must be stopped immediately in its tracks. Hate and violence will not move this country forward. Only inclusive leadership and confronting the truth about the growing white nationalist movement in our country will move us forward. Unfortunately, we are not seeing it from President Trump nor his Republican Party.

Both Pelosi and Hoyer tweeted Monday defending Tlaib and said that the congressional Republicans comments are"outrageous" and they they"owe her an apology."

RashidaTlaib TheEnemyWithin

Over, and over again... this racist idiot keeps showing her true colors and yet... the Democrats do nothing? This is abhorrent behavior and this 4 year old Rashida can't understand why her words are so volatile. Stupid Politicians

Islam should be outlawed in America. It goes directly against the constitution. How can gays be democratics when part of your party would kill you if they could. Glad my gay daughter and her friends have seen the light. Trump2020...

There’s no defense for attempting to subvert our alliance with Israel. Her agenda is treasonous and hateful.

There is no defense for her!

Only Republicans could find a way to be neo-Nazi sympathizers while simultaneously pro Israel. Truth is they care about Jews as much as they do Muslims. Just goes to show too many people working in their own self interest to see through the weeds

And Rightly so... These things happen when a person with views contrary to the overwhelming majority of the citizens “wins” an election. This occurs because of either Complacency on election day, or the candidate miss-represented her view on a subject.

She needs to be removed from office

I think your words attacking are disgraceful when it is Tlaib attacking the Jewish faith. Your absolute ignorance in this matter and trying to turn it in favor of blue is appalling and shows your pathetic favoritism of the Democratic party.

Her hate speech is noted. Such an embarrassment to America

Mar 08, 2019 7:23 PM Trump: Democratic Party Has Become ‘anti-Jewish’ and ‘anti-Israel’ Antisemitism

'Pres. Trump joins top House Republicans in attacking Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., by LYING and misrepresenting her recent comments on the Holocaust and Israel while several top House Democrats are coming to her defense.'. FIXED

Trump attacked Rashida? or Rashida attacked the Jews! get your facts straight

She wants the attention, she should be ignored.

She's as crude as Trump, but she has a right to say what she believes. This is still America. Instead of ridicule, she should be asked what she meant by her remarks. The land on which the country known as Israel stands was taken without permission and given to the Jewish people.

Whenever the Holocaust is mentioned it should also include the fact that 10 million Christians, 20 million Russians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated as well. It was not just the Jewish people. Stop the hypocrisy!

Check your facts and RashidaTlaib

This rude disgusting woman is the representative of Hezbollah , not the USA.

So, realDonaldTrump calling Nazis, 'very fine people,' is NOT seen as antisemitic? 25thAmendmentNow

Headline should read- 'Democrats defend Rep. Talaib for lying to the American people about history to push a false narrative.

She has one job, it's not representing the citizens that elected her IMO.

ABC is Disgusting and as sick as the lying liberals

WalkAwayFromDemocrats

And the GOP ignores the real issue of a lying bully in the WH! Hypocritical!

We must protect our elected Democrats especially our “Femocrats” from Dark Money Trump Pence WH Repub attacks aka racial & religious dividers & name callers. RashidaTlaib KamalaHarris ewarren AOC RepMaxineWaters SenFeinstein maziehirono PeteButtigieg

She’s a racist.

NoAntisemites LoveNotHate

Just hope that she meets the Jewish Messiah Jesus Christ very soon.

“Attacking”....more spin by ABC. If it were the other way around, you would’ve written “Tlaib ‘responds’ to Tump...”. FakeNews. You guys are disgusting.

This is the same woman who said let’s impeach the mofo the night she got elected, does anyone remember her apologizing for that ? Does the Democratic leader have short memory or just care to ignore this woman past statements? Are democrats that stupid?

Deservedly so.

For all the fundamentalist Christians and Orthodox Jews: you are being called out on your hypocrisy.

Tlaib is a terrorist

Ratshit is an anti-semite as are those who defender her !

Is she here to promote Islam, or to serve the voters? Save that stuff for the houses of worship where it belongs.

Backwards. Repugs join Trump in a completely false accusation. As a news outlet you're being negligent in not covering the facts of what was said, and complicit in this smear by headlining it in a negative way.

Read it.

Yeah keep on doing that Dems. Any you will see why you are going back to the minority

Hey Disney .. her comments were anti Semitic !! And it will now blow up in all your liberal progressive BS ..enjoy TrumpTrain because no one with a brain will be voting for Party filled with Jewish hate .. GStephanopoulos Politics RashidaTlaib

President of the United States American Trump ;; with Israeli nationality a war criminal in the Palestinian people .. Supports the Israeli occupation

She is a disgrace

If you want to criticize Trump for things he says I get that but if you are defending RashidaTlaib for her comments then you are ignorant.

My guess is the voting base for Muslims is larger than the voting base for Jews

I dont hate Israel, but I'm definitely not a fan of a lot of things they do.

If you want to criticize Trump fit things he says I get that but if you are defending RashidaTlaib for her comments then you are ignorant.

How could anyone in the Democratic Party who heard what she said still come to her defense? The holocaust was a terrible crime and for her to belittle Jewish victims because she is Muslim is pure hateful.

Ok...we've seen this before...Still, she's not stupid. She must have known what would happen...So, what is the real scenario/plan here?

High profile TheDemocrats and media did no different on realDonaldTrump Charlottesville comments. Cast not the first stone Politics

Democrats defending a rabid anti-Semite? Gosh I'm surprised.

If trump is attacking, Rashida must be right.

Correction: Pres. Trump joins top House Republicans in attacking Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for her recent comments on the Holocaust and Israel while several top House Democrats AND the MSM are coming to her defense.

She lied about Palestinians involvement. There is nothing to defend.

Why in the world RashidaTlaib mention 'calming feeling' when speaking about Holocaust? ESPECIALLY, being Palestianian! What is wrong with you?! You & IlhanMN REALLY NEED to sit down/keep Israel's name out your mouth! You're supposed to bring unity NOT division w/your position!

Modern History of Palestinians involvement in WW2 RashidaTlaib FoxNews CNN realDonaldTrump

Comments like Tlaib's and others in the Democratic party are just helping Trump's chances of winning again in 2020. Keep up the good work for Trump.

Antisemitism runs deep in the democrat party followed by the MSM

Michigan deserves better than that

And the MAGAts REJOICED!

He should talk all he has is nasty comments about everyone ,everything !!.seems like a racial thing !!!!!

“Attacking” wow ABC showing their tru colors

She has totally distorted the history of a Jewish State, the history of Jews in the region, or how Arab leaders supported the holocaust and sought to deny any form of a Jewish homeland....long before the holocaust.

TRUMP IS A JEWISH HATER. TRUMP PERMITTED THE NAZI KKK TERRORISTS TO PROTEST, WITH FIRE, AGAINST JEWS. 'Jews will not replace us.' THAT'S ANTI SEMITIC HATRED. HOW COULD TRUMP REALLY BE IN FAVOR OF ISRAEL? TRUMP, HIS DAD FRED AND TRUMP'S GRANDAD HATES JEWISH PEOPLE. read it..

Who is coming to her defense? Jihadi Barbie and Occasional Cortex?

Orange man bad Brown lady gooooooooood

The Democrats are rolling out the red carpet for Jew haters + people with terror links in the Halls of Congress. The Democrats acceptance of hate /terror within their ranks will remain a pox on the Democrats until they take action against it.

Dont say dumb shit. She should be smarter than saying something stupid that can be misconstrued. Otherwise, she knows what she was doing. Either way, says a lot about her.

Of course he does. I’m not sure we need national news to tell us this. It’s a given.

Do Steve King, or Steve (I'll be the keynote speaker for the Holocaust-denying group European American Unity and Rights Organization) Scalise; then follow up with Matt Gaetz. GOPHypocrites

They’re on team Democrat, the American/Jew haters are on team Democrat.

realDonaldTrump I'm glad you stood up for Jewish people against her - I hope in the future you will with Hungary's PM Orban

What she said was historically innacurate.

RashidaTlaib

Dems are just flat out confused at this point.

Of course he did. He is the ultimate hypocrite. Anyone that says Nazi's are very fine people should shut up. He deserves no respect.

I guess they failed at picking on that other brown girl in Congress.

Republicans pounce again! So much POUNCING.

'attacking' - nice, ABC

She said nothing wrong. Are they attacking Trump for kissing up to the Hungarian autocrat today who is a virulent anti-Semite?

Now you know he couldn't help himself

One 'attack' as you call it... after 100 from the terrorist lover Tlaib!

You mean Republicans are lying about her comments.

The number of Jews voting for Trump in this next election will be astonishing.
