Poor Rashida Tlaib.

All she wanted to do was visit her granny and pick figs with her.

*sniff sniff*

My sity wanted to pick figs w/ me. I broke down reading this & worry every single day after I won for my family's safety. My cousin was texting me which photo of @IlhanMN & I they should put on a welcoming poster when I heard the news. I couldn't tell her.https://t.co/TneIQHwDgO — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 16, 2019

Couldn’t tell her.

Poor, sad, Rashida.

But wait … Israel decided to let her in.

Israel has now decided to allow @RashidaTlaib into Israel in order to visit her 90-year-old grandmother. The congresswoman promised not to promote any boycott of Israel during her visit. https://t.co/1yr5qVXrWv — Dov Lieber (@DovLieber) August 16, 2019

So she’s psyched about going to pick figs with her grandma now, right?

HA.

Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice. https://t.co/z5t5j3qk4H — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 16, 2019

Oh, so she’s decided not to visit granny and pick figs because if she did it would mean she’s not fighting racism, oppression and injustice.

Or something.

Holy Hell, could this woman be any more awful?

You know what, don’t answer that.

So you really were going just to stir up stuff. Way to validate the decision. And dis your grandma. Having lost both of mine, I would do anything to see them again. Why don’t you think about her rather than yourself? You sound like an entitled brat. — Stacey (@ScotsFyre) August 16, 2019

She’s definitely an entitled brat.

Let’s be real This isn’t the first time that a Palestinian has tried to use an elderly woman as a human shield https://t.co/vM1KRotNLG — Will Chamberlain (@willchamberlain) August 16, 2019

Oh SNAP.

So then why did you request to go and agree to not boycott while there? How is not advocating for the destruction of Israel "humiliating" you? Is your hatred for Israel more important than your love of grandmother? It would appear so. — Nickarama (@Nickarama1) August 16, 2019

Yup.

Is your sity on board with you using her as a political prop? — Eyeroller Extraordinaire ? (@fledtothesouth) August 16, 2019

Ouch.

We are all waiting for you to speak the truth about anything…I guess it will be a long wait. That statement is a lie. If they have inhumane conditions, maybe they should accept the state of Israel and stop terrorist attacks. After 70 years? give it up. — Grumpyolman (@grumpyolman21) August 16, 2019

Israel was right to bar your entry into the country. Your support for the BDS movement and your work towards the destruction of Israel isn’t something that Israel, a sovereign power, wants on its soil. You are a provocateur. https://t.co/ualcwSCE4j — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) August 16, 2019

Included mainly for that picture.

YIKES, right?

You’re supposed to represent people in your district in A STATE INSIDE THE UNITED STATES NOT Israel or this place you call Palestine. If you represent the Palestinian people before the American people, RESIGN! — I Yam What I Yam (@Nvr4Get91101) August 16, 2019

Reminder. You represent the American people. — KimmieH (@kimhr1961) August 16, 2019

Wasn’t that Ted Lieu’s big gripe with the U.S. Ambassador to Israel? Hrm.

Wow! You actually typed this. — Jason Scalese (@coachscalese) August 16, 2019

Is this real life?

Heh.

jeez they selected a pretty bad mouth piece — Stiles Bitchley ✫✫ (@WeWhoDieSaluteU) August 16, 2019

Helpful! 🙂

Key word: humiliation. Big for these people. Sorry sweetie but you made your own bed. Now you can lie in it. — Mare Wolkstein (@orianafallachi) August 16, 2019

Yeah, sweetie.
