A local city commissioner in south Florida has been condemned by colleagues and a state Islamic relations group for her Facebook post about freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whom she called a “danger” who might “blow up Capitol Hill.”
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Hallandale Beach commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub reportedly signed a petition that called for the ouster of Tlaib after she was criticized for saying Democrats should “impeach that motherfucker,” referencing President Trump.
“Proudly signed,” Lima-Taub wrote, according to a screenshot of a post on her personal Facebook page, obtained by the Sun-Sentinel. “A Hamas-loving anti-Semite has NO place in government! She is a danger and [I] would not put it past her to become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”
Several of Lima-Taub’s fellow commissioners have condemned her comments and the Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations called on her to resign, USA Today reported.
Tlaib — who made history for being the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress and one of two of the first Muslim women — addressed the remark in a tweet, blaming President Trump and Republicans for perpetuating “hateful, anti-Muslim rhetoric.”
This sort of hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric doesn’t happen in a vacuum – this President embraced it and Republicans have happily gone along with it.https://t.co/3THoHQmRVy

Annabelle Lima-Taub?
Sounds like a furriner to me…
Not sure if impeachment is an option for Ms Lima-Taub, but if it is they should impeach the motherfucker.
I would think the Hallandale city commissioner has a lot more to fear from her neighbors than a new congresswoman from Michigan. After all there are the daily exploits of some Florida man. Hallandale Beach is next door to Aventura where the MAGA bomber hailed from and where his festooned van was parked. A guy who sent explosive devices to 13 current and former elected and appointed officials and threatened others.
Yes, born in Israel. She put herself in a bind since she is a real estate broker on Florida’s Russian Riviera - does she piss off the Trump supporters by apologizing or does she piss off Muslims and liberal Dems by standing by her statement?
Sorry, ma’am, but your president already has the whole destroying Capitol Hill thing covered.
