Today, Donald Trump lied, openly, nationally, and internationally, in writing. He wrote the following Tweet:
“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib
to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be
said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a
hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!”
It is NOT true that Omar or Tlaib hate Israel; it is NOT true that they hate all Jewish people That’s the bald-faced lie. They have been critical of the government of Israel, but that does not mean they hate Israel and it certainly doesn’t mean they hate all Jewish people. Donald Trump, with that kind of lie, puts their lives in jeopardy.
Omar and Tlaib are duly elected representatives for the people of Minnesota and Michigan. They are the first Muslim women to serve in the Congress. Mr. Trump disgraces the Office of the Presidency by saying “They are a disgrace!” Trump is having his “Muslim Ban” after all. Netanyahu denied entry into Israel of two Congress women of the United States of America—it is not clear whether he said this before or after Trump’s tweet.
If this little episode, so crystal clear, doesn’t awaken Americans to the peril of Trump, then I don’t know what will!
