Tweet calling Tlaib ‘un-American’ was posted by California police dept. employee
By: Steve Neavling, Metro Times, April 30, 2019:
It was an off-duty employee at the Fontana Police Department who tweeted that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is “un-American,” the FPD now reports. Previously, the department had said its account had been hacked. The tweet, which the FPD called an “embarrassment” in a statement, was posted on Tuesday, April 23, and then deleted later that day.
So what? She is un-American.

The tweet was a response to Tlaib’s call to shut down U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“Nice knowing you!” the tweet read, according to The Daily Bulletin. “I became bulimic because I vomit every time I hear your BS. You are one of the most un-American persons I know. You are a disgrace to the office you hold.”
The FPD put out a statement the following day to address the issue.
Curran says social media post not intended to be racist, Muslim advocacy group calls for her resignation
The demand by the organization came following a Monday night call for Ms. Curran’s resignation by the St. Lawrence County Democratic Committee after its condemnation of the language and message in the post.
The post, since removed, showed an image from Sept. 11, 2001 of a smoldering North Tower at the World Trade Center as a second plane is about to hit the South Tower.
Misreported by the advocacy group as being text Ms. Curran wrote herself, the shared post stated “Every time a Muslim stand up (sic) in Congress and tells us they are going to change the Constitution, impeach the president, or vote for socialism, remember you swore you would never forget. They swore they would destroy us from within.”
Following the first of what will be quarterly meetings to discuss county issues with the Waddington Village Board Wednesday evening, Ms. Curran said she didn’t write the post, but just shared it, something she said she has seen all over the social media site.
“I didn’t mean anything Islamophobic or racist in my post,” Ms. Curran said. “I didn’t feel it was and that wasn’t my intention. It‘s just a quote from what people have said.”
She said that the incident has led to her receiving threats, one in the form of a video that she said she didn’t want to discuss. She said she showed it to St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary M. Pasqua but wants to put the whole incident behind her.
“Basically, when you think about 9/11 and what was done, were not supposed to say anything about anybody,” she said. “Basically (Rep.) Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) can stand there and say ‘the Jewish people are horrible, we shouldn’t give them money, Hamas should get them,‘ and all this other stuff, and that is fine. But if somebody mentions 9/11 it’s this big thing and you get all these CAIR people and everybody else . . . CAIR never spoke up and said how horrible 9/11 was.”
According to a 2014 Washington Post report, CAIR, “was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation in Texas.” While foundation officials were later found guilty of diverting funds to Hamas, CAIR has never been charged with any criminal activity and operates in a tax-exempt status, The Post reported.

Couldn’t criticize the former administration, because the was racist, no matter how egregious the policies were. Cannot criticize Butt-gig, because that’s homophobic. Cannot criticize vile moslems, that use the foulest of language on a broadcasted event, that want to totally change policies … because that’s izslumophobic. The public is sick and tired of this crap. When people cease apologizing for simply stating their opinions … or for telling the truth … that’s when everything will finally turn around. Until then … expect more and more of the same.

I wonder what that video is about. Death threats? Pornography? It’s in the public interest to know what it is … and if it was sent by a CAIR member (moslem … ANY moslem).

As it is nowadays in this PC culture, the truth is a lie and lies are considered truth. Under no circumstances can the truth about the evil of islum be told.

So by extension since the muslim brotherhood has been labled a terrorist organization, why isn’t CAIR considered a terrorist organization? They have 9/11 conspiritors on their executive board. Send them to GITMO.

Of course..
In Minnesota, the oh-so-smooth MN CAIR Director, Jaylani Hussein (on the new MN Governor, Walz ‘transition team’) brags constantly, during his never-ending ‘Islamophobia’- r’-us hate-filled dog and pony presentations, that ‘MN CAIR filed 360 law suits in Minnesota, in 2017 alone, with more planned for 2018’, and on and on it goes..
It is called more appropriately ‘Litigation Jihad’..
These people are DANGEROUS slime..

Now is the time to have CAIR designated as a terrorist hate group and ban them from speaking to or in any civilization or population that is allowed to use toilet paper.
Save their hate for sand lot countries.
