Well, that certainly sounds very racist.
RACISM ALERT: @WajahatAli sits and nods along as Rula Jebreal calls Hakeem Jeffries a "monkey" and an "errand boy." This type of racism and bigotry has NO place in our Party. Retweet if you agree. pic.twitter.com/D3lvrWG4R7

So Rula calls Hakeem Jeffries a monkey and an errand boy, but then says she didn't mean it in a racist way. Ok.
By the way, Rula Jebreal is a Palestinian journalist and currently a visiting professor at the University of Miami.
Surely, if a Republican said something like that, Wajahat wouldn't run with it and call them bigots. Eyeroll.
I would never be able to publically call any congressman, or black a MONKEY and ERRAND BOY and get away with it.

Why is it that racist remarks & racism coming from Muslims is tolerated and accepted? https://t.co/4JXwrpe3rm
It shouldn't be tolerated. There is no reason to say those things and it's very clear she means it in a derogatory way.
muzzies use black people to get their way while also being racist behind their backs. Truly the biggest fakes ever. https://t.co/hVbv6wRPyI

They aren't even trying to hide their prejudice against Black people anymore. Sick.
Calling a black man monkey is meant in a racist way. Muslims hate blacks its well known and why they have enslaved them for thousands of years.

These two radical Islamists clearly are bigoted against Black people.
@RepJeffries let’s see if you will condemn this speech out of your own party…everytime a microphone is in your face you call republicans racist. Keep that same energy, coward.

It will be interesting to see how Jeffries reacts to this.
Too late for the democrats, they have allowed these people to fester in their party for nearly 20 years.

He is a racist and antisemitic Muslim supremicist.

They both clearly have no respect for Black people.
How is it that, of all the words in your vocabulary to express dissent against Hakeem Jeffries you landed on “monkey”??? And is it suddenly acceptable because you stuck “AIPAC” in front of it? Enlighten us all, @rulajebreal! https://t.co/EbVUJ3M2ng

Monkey and errand boy! Both are awful!
Monkey was right on the tip of her tongue because that is how they speak of us

Bingo!
.@rulajebreal you may as well go for the hard R too since you’re already comfortable fixing your mouth to call Hakeem Jeffries a “monkey” and an “errand boy”@WajahatAli for someone who seems quite outspoken I’m not sure why you couldn’t find the words to cut this racist… https://t.co/VFZR0VzgIG

Because Wajahat agrees with her.
I'm not the most sensitive person in the world, but @rulajebreal using both "monkey" and "boy" to refer to @hakeemjeffries is pretty damn racist. And @WajahatAli just lets it all slide by... https://t.co/oJCNXGaoOW
