Tlaib slams 'anti-Muslim rhetoric' after Florida official says she might 'blow up' Capitol Hill




Her tweet comes after Annabelle Lima-Taub, a Hallandale commissioner in Broward County, signed an online petition seeking to remove Tlaib from office after the lawmaker vowed to go after President Trump and "impeach the motherf---er,” the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Monday.
Lima-Taub, who is Jewish, then shared the petition in a now-deleted post on her personal Facebook page.

“A Hamas-loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill,” Lima-Taub reportedly wrote.

We have a similar situation in our area with an openly Islamophobic GOP politician. We have followed her to events and protested her open hatred.

Now, she calls herself the victim, and we are her oppressors.

Poor, oppressed racists.

Recommended.

Scurrilous

"Commissioner Mike Butler released a statement stressing the city's diversity.

"Hallandale Beach is a city that celebrates diversity and enjoys the benefits of it. To say that someone might be a terrorist because they're Muslim is just plain wrong. People of all faiths are welcome here in Hallandale Beach," Butler said.

Hallandale Beach is home to Baitful Naseer Mosque and a significant population of Ahmediyya Muslims.

"We have a really active Muslim community in Hallandale Beach who are always present at city events always working so hard to inspire cultural awareness." Vice Mayor Sabrina Javellana said."
