Yesterday Israel decided to allow Rashida Tlaib to visit her grandmother after she sent a letter begging to come.
The nation of Israel has changed its mind and will allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib visit the nation on “humanitarian grounds.”
But when Israel said it would allow her to come she slapped them in the face by saying she would not make the trip, Reuters reported.
U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib on Friday said she would not visit her family in the West Bank as planned despite a reprieve by the Israeli government allowing her visit.
“Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in – fighting against racism, oppression & injustice,” Tlaib, a Democrat representing Michigan, said in a series of tweets.
President Trump deccided to comment on the matter and used his Twitter profile to bash Rashida Tlaib.
“Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her ‘grandmother,'” Trump tweeted on Friday evening. “As soon as she was granted permission, she grandstanded & loudly proclaimed she would not visit Israel.”
The president further speculated on the motivation behind Tlaib’s planned trip, asking, “Could this possibly have been a setup? Israel acted appropriately!”
President Trump fired back at Tlaib for her choice to jilt
What do you think about Trump’s comments.
