Trump On Rashida Tlaib Canceling Israel Trip: Her Grandmother Is 'Real Winner' Because 'She Doesn't Have To See Her Now'
- 5 years ago
President Trump slammed Rashida Tlaib on Friday.
President Trump attacked Representative Rashida Tlaib on Friday hours after "she said she will not enter Israel due to the 'oppressive conditions' placed upon her visit, despite the Israeli government's permission to enter Israel on humanitarian grounds to visit her family in the occupied West Bank, including her 90-year-old grandmother," reports Axios.
"Israel was very respectful & nice to Rep. Rashida Tlaib, allowing her permission to visit her 'grandmother,'" Trump wrote on Twitter. "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!"
"Rep. Tlaib wrote a letter to Israeli officials desperately wanting to visit her grandmother," Trump continued. "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!"
In another tweet, he went after Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as well.
Trump wrote: "Like it or not, Tlaib and Omar are fast becoming the face of the Democrat Party. Cortez (AOC) is fuming, not happy about this!"
