Twitchy has actually covered quite of few of these examples in posts, but @AG_Conservative has done a great job of filling out the timeline in one concise thread. His inspiration? This tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib firing back at the “right-wing media” who apparently just can’t get over the fact that she’s Muslim and Palestinian.
Right wing media targeting me again rather than focusing on the President's reckless government shutdown. Yes, I am Muslim and Palestinian. Get over it.
Focus on the human impact of this disaster. #EndTheShutdown
— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) January 15, 2019
It’s more telling than she thinks that the left-wing media (looking at you New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) has shown no interest in “targeting” her considering what she’s been up to in her first few days in office.
So let’s talk about this tweet and whether accusations against Tlaib are just right-wing propaganda or legitimate. pic.twitter.com/PGqmZNhg5i

During the campaign, Tlaib claimed to support a 2-state solution, only to then turn around and admit to only supporting 1 state after she won the primary. That led to even far-left JStreet withdrawing their support. https://t.co/qfeXDa67ra

After she was elected, Tlaib covered up Israel on a map in her office with a post-it note that said Palestine.
Problem with one-state is that Jews wouldn’t have a place in such a state. Even now, Palestinians are being sentenced to jail and death just for selling land to Jews. pic.twitter.com/EXx24aEJDD

Tlaib has also refused to answer questions as to whether she supports the PA, which pays terrorists and their families to kill Israeli civilians. Or even whether she supports Hamas, the gov’t in Gaza, which governs Gaza, has killed Americans, and is a designated terror group.

When Former CNN Contributor Marc Lamont Hill got in trouble for using the Hamas slogan “Free Palestine From The River to the Sea” and advocated for terrorism against Israelis, Tlaib posted a petition defending him: https://t.co/gDhljwMLjM

Tlaib publicly endorsed the anti-Semitic BDS movement. She has not supported a boycott for any other country, including the Palestinian territories being led by pro-terrorist governments. Explanation for why BDS is anti-Semitic: https://t.co/faNGm5FPBXhttps://t.co/JNAitEvr4t

Tlaib celebrated her inauguration to Congress with far-left activist and Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour, who was already facing her own controversy for an extensive history of anti-Semitic statements and associations.

Then last week Tlaib sent a blatantly anti-Semitic tweet using the classic dual loyalty accusation to attack supporters of a bi-partisan anti-BDS bill in Congress. Even the ADL was forced to call her out for this. https://t.co/GJoCIK1XCe

Ah, the “They forgot what country they represent” tweet.
Finally, this week it was discovered Tlaib invited a blatantly anti-Semitic Hezbollah and Hamas supporter to a private family dinner celebrating her ascent to Congress. That has led to condemnation from Republican AND Dem Jewish groups. https://t.co/6WA1t1SWCL

You might be able to argue one or a few of these isn't sufficient evidence, but combined it presents a damning picture of antisemitic tendencies and associations. You don't need to be "right-wing" to recognize that reality.

Most damning: This extensive record has received almost no coverage from the mainstream media and no comment from Dem leadership in Congress. If you search for the last story I mentioned, almost all the links are either from conservative or Jewish news sources. pic.twitter.com/TlZNIQOzE8

Republicans denounced and punished @SteveKingIA for his “white nationalist” comment. What will dems do about @RashidaTlaib’s anti-semitism?
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) January 15, 2019
Republicans have widely denounced and now acted to punis Steve King’s odious racial remarks.
So why won’t Dem leadership address Rashida Tlaib’s dual-loyalty smear against American Jews? https://t.co/Rd8Nxkf1pp

Racist congressman Steve King should resign. Anti-Semitic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib should resign. There is no place for either in government.
— Keith Vaughan (@PastorKeithV) January 15, 2019
It took GOP mere days to kick Steve King out of every committee.
Democrats still haven’t even responded to Rashida Tlaib accusing Republicans of having dual loyalties to Israel— Harry Khachatrian (@Harry1T6) January 15, 2019
And they won’t. And the media will ignore it so as not to pressure them to do anything rash.
