President Trump went for the jugular after Rashida Tlaib appeared to show her cards when Israel told her they were lifting their ban on moronic congresswomen.
Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her “grandmother.” As soon as she was granted permission, she grandstanded & loudly proclaimed she would not visit Israel. Could this possibly have been a setup? Israel acted appropriately!

I mean. He’s not wrong.
Rep. Tlaib wrote a letter to Israeli officials desperately wanting to visit her grandmother. Permission was quickly granted, whereupon Tlaib obnoxiously turned the approval down, a complete setup. The only real winner here is Tlaib’s grandmother. She doesn’t have to see her now!

Yeah, that’s basically what happened. And it shows that Tlaib is willing to politicize even a visit to her elderly grandmother just for the sake of bashing Israel.
Even if you grant her complaint that Israel is trying to keep her from using her free speech while visiting her grandmother, so what? Make your visit, head home, THEN criticize Israel freely. NOPE. She HAS to be able to smear Israel or she’ll take her ball and head home. Kinda pathetic really.
And Trump called her out on it nicely. Then he added this:
Like it or not, Tlaib and Omar are fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party. Cortez (AOC) is fuming, not happy about this!
