Revision as of 15:02, January 11, 2019
Rashida Tlaib is the Democratic Socialist representative of Michigan's 13th congressional since 2019.[1] Tlaib has not been shy about hiding her fascist tendencies.
Taking her oath on a Koran, Tlaib was sworn in surrounded by a group that included Linda Sarsour, Nihad Awad and Rasha Mubarak as her special guests.[2] Sarsour has called for Muslims to carry out jihad against President Trump and has praised Imam Siraj Wahhaj,[3] named in court documents as an alleged “co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Awad is co-founder and Executive Director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR has direct ties to Hamas. Mubarak is a community organizer for CAIR in Orlando, Florida. Moments later Tlaib told a crowd of well-wishers that "we’re gonna impeach the mother****er," referring to the President.[4] Democratic leadership failed to condemn the comment as many defended her.[5]

Career
In 2008 Tlaib was Arab-American outreach coordinator for Barack Obama’s Michigan campaign and was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in representing the 12th District (Southwest Detroit).[6] "Green jobs pioneer" and self-described communist Van Jones was the keynote speaker for the 4th annual Michigan Summit on June 12, 2010 headlining a day-long event at which Tlaib also spoke.[7]
Activism for "terror support" suspects
In October 2010, a day before "community activists" were expected to present subpoenaed documents to a grand jury in Chicago, 68 organizations and dozens of public figures demanded an end to FBI investigations and grand jury subpoenas on Chicago and Minneapolis activists (mainly connected to the Freedom Road Socialist Organization/FightBack!) accused of supporting terrorist groups in the Middle East and Latin America via a jointly signed letter. Signatories included the American Friends Service Committee (Western Region), National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, and American-Arab anti-Discrimination Committee, as well as four San Francisco Supervisors, and Tlaib.
The jointly signed letter was presented in response to the September 24, 2010 FBI Raids on the Illinois and Minnesota homes and offices of at least 14 activists targeted for alleged “Material Support for Terrorism.”[8]
