Appearing Monday evening on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was unapologetic about her remarks regarding the Holocaust, claiming “racist idiots” had twisted her words and quipped that she will speak like a fourth grader in an effort to be better understood.

Tlaib, who has made several antisemitic statements since arriving in Washington last year, is yet again under fire for falsely claiming Palestinians offered a “safe haven” for Jews fleeing the Holocaust, whitewashing Palestinian opposition to Jewish immigration and its leadership’s collaboration with Adolf Hitler.

“There’s kind of a calming feeling I always 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,” Tlaib said on a recent episode of Yahoo News’ Skullduggery podcast.

The eyebrow-raising remarks drew strong rebuke from Republicans, including President Donald Trump and Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).

“Democrat Rep. Tlaib is being slammed for her horrible and highly insensitive statement on the Holocaust,” the president said on Monday. “She obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people. Can you imagine what would happen if I ever said what she said, and says?”

A day prior, Tlaib’s office released a statement accusing Republicans and “right-wing extremists” of misconstruing her controversial comments:
