Remember this next time a Democrat tells you that they’re committed to fighting bigotry:

HOYER calls on Trump/Republicans to apologize to @RashidaTlaib:
"If you read Rep. Tlaib’s comments, it is clear that President Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking them out of context," @LeaderHoyer said.
"They must stop, and they owe HER an apology." https://t.co/6s5HMLlh35

More from the Hill:
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) is asking for an apology from the Republicans hammering Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her recent comments on Israel and the Holocaust.Hoyer said the Republicans, including President Trump, are twisting Tlaib’s words in criticizing them as anti-Semitic.“If you read Rep. Tlaib’s comments, it is clear that President Trump and Congressional Republicans are taking them out of context,” Hoyer said in a brief email. “They must stop, and they owe her an apology.”
Unreal.
What context makes what she said less insane?

Lol, this won't age well.

It shouldn’t age well. Because it’s disgusting. Rep. Hoyer should be demanding an apology from Tlaib, not Republicans. With this statement, Hoyer, like so many of his Democratic colleagues, has made it quite clear that the Democratic Party is not only not committed to purging anti-Semites from their ranks, but they’ll actually excuse anti-Semitism in the name of preserving their greater political agenda.
A great example of how party over country is the wrong way to lead. She was wrong for what she said no matter what party she represents.

Tlaib's remarks were outrageous and Hoyer & the Democrats owe us an apology for supporting her antisemitism.

Did anyone ask him the correct context for whitewashing the history of people who sided with Hitler?

There it is. House Democrat leadership fully endorses Rep. Tlaib's anti-Semitic rhetoric & attempts to rewrite history: https://t.co/vfpHkl9NUB
