President Donald Trump berated freshman Representative Rashida Tlaib for her 'tremendous hatred' of Jews and Israel, claiming her statements regarding the Holocaust were 'insensitive.'
Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to be elected to Congress, said her people lost their land and lives when they tried to 'create a safe haven for Jews' after the Holocaust.
The president also pointed out a double standard in treatment between the parties, and said he would be treated much worse if he were to make similar comments as Tlaib.
"Democrat Rep. Tlaib is being slammed for her horrible and highly insensitive statement on the Holocaust. She obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people," Trump posted to Twitter Monday morning. "Can you imagine what would happen if I ever said what she said, and says?"
EDITOR’S NOTE: In fact, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and leader of the Palestinian Arabs, was a stalwart opponent of Zionism who served Hitler as a propagandist during the Holocaust. He also personally asked Hitler to support his opposition to establishing a Jewish national home in Palestine.
