Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib is known for her antisemitism and anti-Israel stance and during an interview with Democracy Now, she told yet another lie to make Israel seem like a human rights violator against the Palestinian people.
Not only is she wrong, she once again exposed herself as the real racist in the room.
