President Trump on Tuesday ramped up his attacks on Rep. Rashida Tlaib after the Michigan Democrat got emotional at a press conference criticizing Israel over its decision to bar her from entering the country last week.
“Sorry, I don’t buy Rep. Tlaib’s tears,” Trump tweeted after Tlaib spoke out the previous day about Israel’s decision. “I have watched her violence, craziness and, most importantly, WORDS, for far too long. Now tears?”
Trump again claimed that Tlaib “hates Israel and all Jewish people,” and called her an “anti-Semite.”
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib sharply criticized Israel on Monday for denying them entry to the Jewish state and called on fellow members of Congress to visit while they cannot.
Sorry, I don’t buy Rep. Tlaib’s tears. I have watched her violence, craziness and, most importantly, WORDS, for far too long. Now tears? She hates Israel and all Jewish people. She is an anti-Semite. She and her 3 friends are the new face of the Democrat Party. Live with it!

Omar, of Minnesota, suggested President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were suppressing the lawmakers’ ability to carry out their oversight role.

“I would encourage my colleagues to visit, meet with the people we were going to meet with, see the things we were going to see, hear the stories we were going to hear,” Omar said at a news conference. “We cannot let Trump and Netanyahu succeed in hiding the cruel reality of the occupation from us.”
Israel denied entry to the first two Muslim women elected to Congress over their support for a Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) global movement.
Tlaib, a U.S.-born Palestinian-American from Michigan, had also planned to visit her aging grandmother in the West Bank. Israeli officials later relented and said she could visit her grandmother after all.
But Tlaib got emotional as she told how her “Sitty” — an Arabic term of endearment for one’s grandmother that’s spelled different ways in English — urged her during a tearful late-night family phone call not to come under what they considered such humiliating circumstances.
“She said I’m her dream manifested. I’m her free bird,” Tlaib recalled. “So why would I come back and be caged and bow down when my election rose her head up high, gave her dignity for the first time?”
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley kept up the administration’s criticism of the two lawmakers.
“Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have a well-documented history of anti-Semitic comments, anti-Semitic social media posts and anti-Semitic relationships,” he said in a statement. “Israel has the right to prevent people who want to destroy it from entering the country — and Democrats’ pointless Congressional inquiries here in America cannot change the laws Israel has passed to protect itself.”

This michashaifa hasn’t been to visit her grandmother in over a decade, what’s the rush? Crying because they had to go through a checkpoint, boo hoo.
Were they planning to go visit Jewish families who were murdered and maimed r’l at the hands of their fellow arabs?
Load of crock tears, may this shameless Jew hating anti-Semite America hater Lose her seat in Congress real soon, and go join her people If she really cares about them so much,
Trump is right, this i the new face of Democrat Party.
FAKE News CNN forgot to play the video of Tlaib screaming and being thrown out at a Trump rally!!!
Don’t these ladies have a job representing their state district? Why are they injecting themselves into ME politics that have nothing to do with that. Go back and start representing your voters and doing the job they hired you to do.
She still calls israel “the occupation” as a us congresswoman then the ban is well deserved! the nerve!
Keep focusing on Trump vs the Anti Semites Tlaib and Omar. Meanwhile home grown American White Supremacist Anti Semites who recently wanted to attack the Youngstown Jewish Community Center are brazenly planning attacks.
They have killed Jews before and they fully support Trump.
There is no Trump vs White Nationalists.
Only Trump vs Muslims, Mexicans,Immigrants, the First Amendment etc… Also Trump against Jay Powell, America’s Intelligence agencies etc …
I am disappointed in Trump, stooping to the level of communicating with her via tweeting. This despicable woman should be ignored by all. Banning her from coming to Israel was a smart move, and was the result of the Israeli government deciding this before Trump weighed in on it. (Sorry, libs, but your narrative about Bibi being Trump’s puppet is simply untrue.) The agenda for these 2 women coming was released, and it was full of cavorting with the enemy. Tlaib showed the world that she values her anti-Israel views more than her own grandmother. May her constituents all see how full of hate for Israel, Jews, and America she is, and vote her out of public office.
jackk, you forgot to take your meds again?
jackk, a lot of inaccuracies in what you said, but I’ll pinpoint one point. They aren’t “Immigrants”, rather they are “illegal immigrants”— there is a big difference and never confuse the two. My family are lawful immigrants and now US citizens, and face no issues or problems. Please don’t spin the two as the same.
Jackk isn’t interested in focusing on the Democrats love of tlaib and Omar so he has to look at trump’s problems

What Trump is actually trying to do is to stop gullible liberal Jews to donate $$$$$$$$ to Democrats.
A new definition for crocodile tears
takingabreak, please do not insult crocodiles.
Trump today spread the anti semitic trope that Jews who vote Democrats are disloyal Americans.
How can any Jew still support him?
Jackkk doesn’t know jack.
Jackkk, who do you think the white nationalist get emboldened by if not by the unadulterated incendiary antisemitic rhetoric from the democratic party that goes uncheck every day? The Democratic Party Has Normalized Anti-Semitism
Yes, Ilhan Omar is a problem. The fact that Democrats refuse to condemn her rhetoric is a disaster.
If the Democratic caucus would have done something about the antisemites in their own ranks like Rashida Thlaib, AOC, Keith Ellison, Al Sharpton, Elizabeth Warren (who has hired a know antisemitic to run her campaign just like AOC did), Louis Farrakhan, David Duke (KKK grand wizard who backs Ilhan Omar), and Ilhan Omar. But they have focused on shifting their policies onto defending these sworn antisemites. So what can you expect? The white neo-“SOCIALIST” nationalist see that their “SOCIALIST” democratic representatives are spewing hate and it goes unchallenged.
The late Robert Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and a friend of the Clintons, filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill.
When Ulysses S. Grant was elected to the presidency, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power. The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, which was originally founded as a social club for former Confederate soldiers, evolved into a terrorist organization. It would be responsible for thousands of deaths, and would help weaken the political power of Southern blacks and Republicans.
Trump’s right. In fact, any american who votes democrat is a disloyal American. The debates thus far have demonstrated that all Democratic candidates promote policies that will destroy this country – these candidates are delusional people with no sense of self-preservation. As far as the illegal alien issue goes – unless there is a current genocide threatening you, GET IN LINE AND WAIT YOUR TURN. This country is not lawless. Illegals should be deported and the California homeless should be housed in these “concentration camp cages” – they are much better facilities than the street of LA, with running water, bathrooms, and free hot meals. What a warped, evil, disturbed sense of priorities the left has.
jack, Trump accused Democrat jews of disloyalty not to America but to true Jewish causes and fellow Jews in Eretz Ysroel. He properly callout Yevsektsiya of Democrat party that is loyal only to leftist agenda of abortions, sexual perversion, transgenderism, global warming fraud, destroying American borders and income re-distribution.
adar29,
1) I quoted Trump as saying something Anti-Semitic.Condemn it first. Dbrim actually praises it.
2) The Democratic Party Has Normalized Anti-Semitism ? Wrong!!! Doesn’t even deserve a response.
3) Ilan? She was condemned by her colleagues.
4) You are projecting all the hatred that Trump constantly spews on minorities on to the Democratic party. Look in the mirror.
NEXT TIME CRY BEFORE YOU TALK KNOW ITS TO LATE TRUMP AND BIBI YOU SHOULD BE BLESSED!!!!!!!
boo hoo hoo
“the best hospitials in Jerusalem”
i guess her grandma needed to be treated by jewish doctors in a jewish hospital- because the arabs cant get it together to have one normal hospital.
so interesting that she “forgot” to mention that israeli hospitals treat millions of arabs
and they all get state of the art care.
a few weeks ago in rambam haifa with one of my kids in the er alsmost all the children there were arab.
and yet “how surprising” all of the families nad orginizations that donated to building the beautiful ruth rappaport childrens hospital are all jewish!
maybe rashida the wicked wants to donate some money to those lovely hospitals that treat her “fellow” areb bretheren?
or maybe she doesnt care about them in the least bit and just wants to use them as her way to make it up the demecratic hate ladder?
