WASHINGTON _ A rookie commissioner from a South Florida beach city is facing calls for her resignation after she called newly elected Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib a "danger" and said the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress may decide to become a "martyr and blow up Capitol Hill."
From Washington to South Florida, the post has been called "indefensible" and "racist."
"That's terrible," Tlaib said when informed by the Miami Herald of the Facebook post. She said the comments were part of a national campaign to penalize supporters of Palestinian rights.
