Republican leaders have called on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “take action” against Democrat Rashida Tlaib, for comments she made about the Holocaust during the most recent episode of Skullduggery.
Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman host the Podcast.
Here are the comments, made by Tlaib, being criticized by Republicans: “There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports. And, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time.”
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., called Tlaib’s comments “twisted and disgusting.”
