Hey … did you know that Rashida Tlaib is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress? Oh, you’d heard? The media does seem pretty breathless about it, seeing as anything Tlaib does will be done by one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress. On Wednesday, she presided over the House floor.
I'd be excited about this if she wasn't one of the most undeserving people in America. https://t.co/tH6lQ5OVVQ

And America will look back on the moment in shame.

Shame she says all the horrible things she does.

Rewrite Holocaust history and hate Jews and you too can preside over the House floor. https://t.co/NgXgbtageN

Man, are people still pouncing on her for her revisionist history lesson in which Palestinians heroically created a “safe haven” for Jews after the Holocaust?
This tweet is from Tuesday, but we sort of have this thing about collecting “Republicans pounce” stories — the ones where the piece is never concerned with whatever stupid thing a Democrat did or said but rather Republicans’ reactions to it.
We’ve seen “Republicans pounce” a ton of times, and “Republicans seize” more than a few times, but The Hill put in some effort and reported that Republicans had “amped up” their attacks on Tlaib by calling her out for her complete falsehoods.
NEW: Republicans amp up attacks on Tlaib's Holocaust comments https://t.co/KmlXTUpUcn pic.twitter.com/4zK8vpuMaJ

Um, what were those Holocaust comments again?
Has The Hill actually bothered doing any coverage of her comments?
I'm not actually asking, the only three pieces on this issue attack DJT, Liz Cheney, and Republicans. Great reportering guys.
JFYI, most offensive anti-Semitic thing said by any elected since I joined the biz. https://t.co/3NYF1KZgAE

— Rick Langel (@RickLangel) May 15, 2019
How and why on Earth did Democrats elect so many rabid anti-Semites in the mid-terms?
