House Speaker McCarthy blocks Rashida Tlaib from hosting "anti-Semitic" Nakba event

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) canceled an anti-Semitic event at the U.S. Capitol that was to be hosted by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).  The event, known as Nakba, decries Israel as a "disaster" for Palestinians and the Islamic world.

Tlaib had attempted to reserve space at the Visitor Center of the Capitol but the Speaker stopped her by reserving the space she had planned to use for himself. McCarthy's event will instead commemorate Israel's 75th anniversary which will be on May 14th and will symbolize a middle finger to terrorists and their supporters such as Tlaib.

"This event at the U.S. Capitol is canceled," McCarthy tweeted late Tuesday. "Instead, I will host a bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Israel relationship."

Tlaib and her ilk known as the squad, has called Israel an "apartheid state" at the beginning of this month adding that it was founded on the "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians. However, she failed to put that claim into context by not attributing the Palestinians and Arabs nations of attempting to eliminate the Jews from the area which historically, as in Biblically, was occupied by them.

Tlaib's comments were quickly rejected on Twitter, where people were quick to apply the "community notes" fact-check feature of the platform, proving her lack of historical knowledge as a best case scenario, or her hatred for Jews as a worse case scenario.

McCarthy's move to run interference at Tlaib's event comes as Israel's Iron Dome defense system wards off waves of rockets launched out of Gaza Wednesday morning. The attack came in response to three Israeli airstrikes that killed a trio of senior members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group.

In any case, Tlaib and her squadettes, can sit on it and twirl, if you know what I mean.
