WALSH: Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Loyalties Do Not Lie With America. She Just Made That Explicitly Clear.

The usual suspects came out in support of the people who launched rockets at Israel over the weekend. Sadly, it is not surprising to see the likes of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) or Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) siding with terrorists. It should, of course, be surprising — shocking, even — for members of the United States Congress to express such views, but we are far past being shocked over terror-sympathizing among Democrats. Yet there is one thing — one little three-letter word — that makes this case significantly different. Reacting to what she considered an unfair headline in The New York Times, Tlaib tweeted this:

When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine
