She has become more identified with the Palestinian territories than with her Detroit-based 12th District.
Finley is a staunch Republican, consider the bias of the source. He’s HOPING dems are going to turn their backs on Tlaib. It isn’t going to happen.
I did consider the source before posting and you may be right about the intent of the article. Then again, as they say, a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day. My concern is the quoted sentence from the article and it appears (at least to me) she is doing almost nothing to prove otherwise, n’est-ce pas?
The hand ringing around Tlaib is in her support to Palestinians and opposition to Israel. While I don’t 100% support her position on it, it is nice to see someone in the government with a different opinion on that matter. Given her district, I don’t think that stance is going to cost her votes. Her seat is safe even with an Israeli PAC offering $20M to anyone to run against her.
Totally possible. Actually, with the coming out regarding the offers of paid opposition, it may even strengthen her position.
Politics is truly a distasteful (but lucrative) occupation.
