Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib made history by becoming the first two Muslim women elected to Congress but have been criticized for their remarks on Israel.
The National Republican Congressional Committee has called Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib—the first Muslim women ever elected to Congress—“bigots" in a blog post published on its website Monday.
The NRCC blog post outlined alleged aspects of Hoadley’s platform including “destroying Michigan’s auto industry through the socialist Green New Deal” and “taking away health insurance from over 500,000 people.” Both Hoadley and Omar were a part of America’s Cabinet, a nonpartisan project of the Young Elected Officials Network. The group is made up of 19 officials who released a collaborative vision for “how America could live up to its promise here at home and around the world,” according to its web page.
Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., right, and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., attend a rally with Democrats in the Capitol to introduce the 'Equality Act,' which will amend existing civil rights legislation to bar discrimination based on gender identification and sexual orientation on Wednesday, March 13, 2019. The National Republican Congressional Committee called Omar and Tlaib"bigots" in a blog post on Monday.
Even Donald Trump joined in on the debate, calling Omar"anti-Israel" just hours after one of his supporters was charged for threatening to assault and murder the freshman congresswoman.
