The Squad goes to war with Nancy over Ilhan Omar: Rashida Tlaib says 'freedom of speech doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress' after Pelosi urged Rep. to 'clarify' comments comparing US and Israel to terrorists
2021-06-12
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Rep. Rashida Tlaib blasted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leadership for a statement they put out Thursday about Rep. Ilhan Omar

  • 'Freedom of speech doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress. The benefit of the doubt doesn't exist for Muslim women in Congress,' Tlaib tweeted

  • Pelosi and top Democrats said Omar was fomenting 'prejudice' by drawing false equivalence between democracies like Israel and terrorist groups like Hamas

  • Omar accused her critics within the Democratic Party of whipping up 'Islamic hate against her'

  • Beyond support from her fellow 'Squad' member, the Congressional Progressive Caucus also came out in defense of Omar

  • 'We cannot ignore a right-wing media echo chamber that has deliberately and routinely attacked a Black, Muslim woman in Congress,' a statement said

#11  Self-segregation's the best / least bloody and still viable option.

Self-segregation now. Self-segregation forever.

#10  Back in the day, the solution to bad ideas was exposure in "the marketplace of ideas." Not entirely perfect. Nazism and Communism killed a couple hundred million before it was generally - but no where near widely enough - agreed they were bad ideas. Now, most of the worst ideas are politically protected and discussion is verboten. That's going to have to change. Probably in an unsettling way.

#5  I say, put her over there in the corner with Maxine Waters and just ignore her. Otherwise, you're just playing her game.

#2  Its not likely any of the squad member will walk across the aisle, but it will only take about 10 'old school' pols to do so and Nancy is out of a job.
