Rashida Tlaib did nothing wrong: Hillary Clinton deserves to be booed

I have no shortage of criticisms for Rep. Rashida Tlaib and the other far-left members of “the Squad.” Just this week, the Michigan Democrat spread fake news blaming Jews for the death of a Palestinian child and then issued a total non-apology. But intellectual honesty requires that we call balls and strikes with all politicians, and the latest outrage directed at Tlaib after she dared boo Hillary Clinton is utterly absurd.

At a campaign event for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Iowa Friday night, Sanders supporters started to boo when Clinton was mentioned. The moderator tried to shut them down, saying, “We’re classy here,” but Tlaib was having none of it. She replied, “No, we’re gonna boo. That’s all right. The haters will shut up on Monday when we win.” She booed Clinton for all to see.
