[NYPOST] Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib appeared to blame the Jersey City shooting on "white supremacy" Thursday ‐ even though the attackers have been identified as members of an hard boy "anti-white and anti-Semitic" movement.

Twitter users were quick to call out Tlaib.

The tweet, which was posted to her personal account, had been deleted by Thursday afternoon.
