Rashida Tlaib slammed for targeting Jewish House Democrats in Florida primaries: No coincidence
Rep.Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is being criticized by Florida’s lone Jewish Republican in Congress as she works to unseat two fellow House Democrats.Tlaib is appearing at a rally in Fort Lauderdale Friday held by left-wing groups in support of three congressional candidates, according to a flier posted on Instagram, including two socialists running to unseat Reps.
