Florida official may be reprimanded for comments about Muslim congresswoman
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - An elected official from Hallandale Beach who accused a newly elected Muslim congresswoman of being an anti-Semite who might "blow up Capitol Hill" could face censure from her commission colleagues.
Commissioner Anabelle Lima-Taub has come under fierce attack in recent days for comments she made on Facebook after Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., was sworn into office.
Muslim advocacy groups have been demanding an apology from Lima-Taub after the South Florida Sun Sentinel broke the story on Monday.
Hallandale Beach Commissioner Michele Lazarow, who like Lima-Taub is Jewish, said Wednesday she plans to seek a public reprimand of her colleague for promoting bigotry, fueling hatred and creating a hostile environment for the city's Muslim community.
