One of the most celebrated Democrats in Congress has written for a racist hate group, but the media have been silent about it. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer hasn’t done a thing about it.
And the more voters know about it, the worse it is for Democrats.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American elected to Congress, penned an article for the official publication of Louis Farrakhan’s infamous Nation of Islam… and Schumer and Nancy Pelosi couldn’t care less.

The anti-Semitic, racist hate group has deep influence on Capitol Hill, especially with the Congressional Black Caucus. But this is the first time someone sought out Farrakhan to pitch him on a freelance article.
Tlaib wrote an article for the NOI’s newspaper The Final Call in 2006, when she was a community organizer for Detroit’s Arab and Muslim community.
What she wrote was almost as bad as where it was published: She wrote an op-ed complaining that the government could deport criminal illegal aliens!
The future congresswoman complained the deporting illegal immigrants who go on to commit other crimes is “arbitrary” and “dangerous.”
“Many civil and human rights advocates are calling this cruel and unusual punishment,” she wrote.

Dangerous for whom, Congresswoman?
Her article also puts “national security” in scare quotes—like the safety of American citizens doesn’t deserve two seconds’ thought.
The article’s open borders extremism is dangerous enough… but then she decided to have it published by a man whose nickname is “The Black Hitler”?
Farrakhan would take that as a compliment. Most of us think Adolf Hitler was an insane, murderous monster—but Calypso Louis called the Fuehrer a “very great man.”
Farrakhan has said “Jews are my enemy,” and he’s said that “white people deserve to die.”

And Tlaib decided she wanted to talk to his cult’s followers.
The amazing thing is, no one in the establishment media —from the Detroit Free Beacon, to The Associated Press, to NPR—found the 13-year-old article! Maybe they didn’t bother looking?
A conservative blogger named Jeryl Bier dug up the article on February 11.
Imagine if a Republican congressman had written an article for a neo-Nazi website? We’d never hear the end of it!
Instead, the media looked the other way—even cheered that she was one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress (along with Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar).

CNN reported that Tlaib, who was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, “is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump and was arrested two years ago for disrupting a Trump speech in Detroit.”
Tlaib tried to shoot down the Farrakhan story. She rushed out a spokesperson to tell Joe Perticone of Business Insider, “The piece was from 2006 and was not an endorsement of Farrakhan or anyone for that matter.”
“The Congresswoman has not had any direct contact with Farrakhan and condemns his anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ views,” the statement added.
It’s not reassuring that she hasn’t had any “direct contact” with Farrakhan…after all, at least six sitting Democratic Congressmen have personally met Farrakhan. Maxine Waters even gave him a huge hug—behind closed doors, of course.
But Tlaib has spread anti-Semitic sounding conspiracy theories after being elected to Congress—as recently as last month!

Tlaib said that Jewish Republicans who stuck up for Israel “forgot what country they represent.”
Accusing Jews of “dual loyalty” is a charge made by the KKK, the Nazis… and Louis Farrakhan’s followers.
That would be enough — but that’s not all she’s done.
The Iranian-backed terrorist group killed 241 Americans in an attack on a Marine barracks in 1983.
Until 9/11, Hezbollah had killed more Americans than any other terrorist organization.

Tlaib’s dinner with the radical activist came on her first night in office—around the same time that she promised to “impeach the mother f—er” (meaning Donald Trump).
Her foul-mouthed, anti-Trump meltdown was so embarrassing that Democratic Senator Joe Manchin called it “deplorable.”
Tlaib’s supporters think impeaching Donald Trump is their top priority — but Tlaib’s hate-filled associations prove that she’s the one who should be run out of office.
