Trump: I don’t buy Tlaib’s tears, she hates Israel and all the Jewish people
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump is once again attacking Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who held a press conference with colleague Ilhan Omar on Monday after Israel banned the pair from visiting the West Bank. Tlaib visibly teared up as she spoke of her Palestinian grandmother who she would not get to see.
“Sorry, I don’t buy Rep. Tlaib’s tears,” Trump says. “I have watched her violence, craziness and, most importantly, WORDS, for far too long. Now tears? She hates Israel and all Jewish people. She is an anti-Semite.
“She and her 3 friends are the new face of the Democrat Party. Live with it!”

Tlaib was eventually allowed by Israel to travel to visit her grandmother as a humanitarian gesture, rather than as part of an official visit, but she refused.
