The Democrats have abandoned all principles.
Their hatred of Donald Trump and their insatiable thirst for power has led them down a dark road.
Now one rising star Democrat said something absurd about the Holocaust, and the liberal media reaction was jaw-dropping.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Michigan is becoming one of the more popular Democratic members of Congress.
Tlaib and Minnesota freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are the first two Muslim women to sit in the House, and they’ve both made troubling anti-Semitic and anti-American comments.
Omar recently referred to the 9/11 attack as “some people did something,” which couldn’t be more disgusting and dismissive.
Even worse, Omar’s comments were factually incorrect.
The context of her statement was that CAIR (the Council on American Islamic Relations) was founded after the 9/11 terror attack, but that’s untrue.
CAIR existed prior to that.
The liberal media didn’t care, and shielded Omar from criticism.
Tlaib, not to be outdone by Omar, said that the Holocaust gave her a “calming” feeling because her Palestinian countrymen gave up land so persecuted Jews could have a state.
Using the word “calming” in the same sentence as the Holocaust is troubling enough, but Tlaib’s statement was also historically inaccurate.
The Palestinians sided with Adolf Hitler during World War II
Tlaib’s statement was so bad, even CNN called her out for it:
John King’s exasperation here at Tlaib–“Why?”–is all of us. A credit to CNN. Thank you for allowing us to be human. https://t.co/mB3WSUUj6r

However, other left-wing platforms chose to carry water for Tlaib.
The Washington Post used the common trope of blaming Republicans for “pouncing” on despicable Democrat behavior.
The Post wrote, “Republicans seized on the first half of that sentence (that she used the term “calming feeling” in context of talking about the Holocaust) without sharing the second half of it (that she felt calm when she thought of how Palestinians gave up their land to give persecuted Jews a homeland after World War II).”
So Republicans are to blame for Tlaib’s wording, which was sloppy at best.
And again, her words were flat-out incorrect.
The Washington Post wasn’t the only one.
Late nite host Seth Meyers had on Tlaib to circle the wagons and clean up her response, and of course, it wasn’t her fault.
Tlaib said she would have to dumb down her comments so that “racists” could understand.
The Democrats and their pals in the liberal media have become so intellectually flabby, all they can do is call their political opponents racist or bigoted the second they get criticized.
Meyers did a similar routine with Ilhan Omar.
He had on Meghan McCain, the sole conservative voice on the snakepit known as “The View,” and proceeded to pepper McCain with hardball questions.
Anytime a left-winger is on one of these shows, it’s a love-fest and a joke-fest.
But as soon as a conservative appears, these late-nite comics suddenly morph into Edward R. Murrow.
It’s amazing how the left screams about nuance (even though Tlaib’s comments are provably false), but these are the same people that repeat disgusting lies about Trump, all while perpetuating the greatest media hoax in political history.
They still won’t admit the Russian collusion story was bogus.
They’ve lost all credibility, and their political allies are being exposed for the radicals they are every time they open their mouths.
