Whoops: Rep. Rashida Tlaib blames 'white supremacy' for the Jersey City attack. The suspects were black nationalists.

Liberal Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) blamed this week's deadly shooting in Jersey City on "white supremacy," but the suspects were actually Black Hebrew nationalists.
"This is heartbreaking. White supremacy kills," Tlaib tweeted Thursday.
The tweet has since been deleted, but not before it was captured by another Twitter user and seen by multiple media outlets.
The suspects were actually black nationalists
Officials confirmed Tuesday that the shootout at a Jersey City Jewish market that left one police officer and three bystanders dead was the result of a "targeted" attack.
The two suspects, who were also killed in the shootout, were reportedly associated with the Black Hebrew Israelites movement, which is a black nationalist group whose members believe they are descendants of ancient Israel and who often mix Christian and Judaic beliefs. Historically, Black Hebrew Israelites are not recognized as Jews by members of the Jewish community.
The male suspect, David Anderson, had allegedly shared anti-Semitic and anti-police posts online prior to the attack. His counterpart, Francine Graham, was described by a neighbor as a former home health aide who turned into a "dark person" after she and Anderson met.
The neighbor also suggested that Graham was "coerced into a militant religion [the neighbor] could not identify" and that "chanting and reading of the New Testament, translated into 'evil,' could be heard from her home."
Confirmed photos of the Jersey City shooters have been released. David Anderson & Francine Graham were followers of the black nationalist, anti-Semitic sect, the Black Hebrew Israelites. They killed one officer before launching an attack at the kosher market that killed 3 more...Andy Ngo
Anything else?
Reports of the suspects' motivations were widely circulated Wednesday, so it is surprising that Tlaib would either jump to conclusions or make such a significant error.
Yet, Tlaib was not the only prominent figure to misplace blame for the deadly attack. "The View" co-host Joy Behar also suggested during Wednesday's episode that "white nationalists" were responsible.
Tlaib has been a controversial figure since her entrance into Congress in 2018. The Washington Examiner noted that Tlaib has been accused of anti-Semitism in the past for comments she as made about Israel, such as comparing boycotting Israel to the U.S. boycotting Nazi Germany during World War II and vocally rejecting a two-state solution for Jews and Palestinians.
"Tlaib has also been criticized for posing with terrorist sympathizers," the Examiner said. "In January, she was photographed with a Hezbollah supporter, and in September she posed for a photo with a youth group that advocates for violence against Israel ."
In October, Tlaib came under fire for advising the Detroit police chief to use only black people as analysts for the city's facial recognition system because white people "think African Americans all look the same."

I think I can see how Tlaib and Behar could jump to their own conclusions. Watching the incident being reported live, I noticed how New Jersey officials were slow to release information. As information began to be released the names of the shooters were displayed while the photos of them were blacked out. I wondered why they were doing that? I noted the names were (Anderson & Graham) were as American as apple pie. Then in the first press release it still seemed to be oddly reported on motives. No wonder these two radicals got ahead of themselves.
Rules of civility will be enforced
I wonder if she still thinks it's "heartbreaking."
Sadly, we really do have to wonder!
Nope, now she thinks it's wonderful
She will pull an Emily Latilla (SNL) - "They weren't white supremacists? Never mind."
It's almost funny until you realize she's one of the most powerful people in the country, and she was given that power by actual Americans apparently exercising their own free will. .
That is something I think about a lot. What kind of people would be voting for the likes of Rashida Tlaib?
Here is what I know about the 13th Congressional District:
It contains 695,949 residents. Of those residents, 33.5% live below the poverty line, 56.3% are African American, 33.3% are non-Hispanic whites and 6.4% are foreign born. It seems that there was no Republican candidate opposing Tlaib in the 2018 election. Instead she ran against a "Working Party" candidate and a "G" candidate.
Lets not forgot these same people elected kwame kilpatrick as their major. If he wasn't imprisoned, they would probably vote for him again.
Can you imagine what Kwame was running against?
DC has changed a bit. Same political party but they would no longer feel comfortable with Barry.
That I'm sure of. DC kind of became affluent between 2009 and 2017. That's the only difference.
This lady is an embarrassment to my state.
Don't blame us Northerner's for what they do down there.
ha...she isn't in my district either. Damn Detroiters.
Hey don't blame the people on the west side of the state for what people on the east side do either!
We had no say about her either!
It's Dearborn. The place is over run.
Aren't they the same group the left defended because they were being picked on by MAGA hat wearing teens?
I think one even ended up smirking at a honor thief?
Good question
That's all I could get from the puff piece about how they are victims...
oh wait...
Not the MAGA hat....You couldn't make this shit up
Yup, the very same.
I doubt they'll have any defenders today. Most of the more notorious progressives have taken an oath! I have that affect on them.

Hi John. I knew you weren't part of it.
Oh no did the tree house gang have a meeting to censure you?
I remember when leftwing posters conspired with the moderators to get conservatives banned from newsvine. They got hacked and all their scheming got exposed
It's kind of like the Oath of the Tennis Court
Poor babies. The truth hurts them.
Predicting that they would find someone to slander Kavanaugh, betting with one that the President would serve out his term, telling them that the left-wing media was lying about Russian conspiracy with Trump for 3 years and demolishing arguments that the Steele Dossier was credible may have been a bit much for them. I guess I over did it.

Lots of Black Hebrew Nationalist defenders that day.
They were so mad those damn Covington kids argued back against their bigotry.
P atrol officers likely saved lives
Two foot-patrol officers were about a block from the deli, Shea said, and responded as soon as they heard the gunfire.
They "heroically placed themselves in the line of fire attempting to give the information, and both of them received gunshot wounds," Shea said. "Having had an opportunity to go through the video overnight, we now know this did not begin with gunfire between police officers and the perpetrators and then move to the store. It began with an attack on civilians in the store."
I think it's fine this all worked out well for the white grievance crowd.
Not so much for you and your left wing propaganda you post though huh?
Imagine the outrage if McConnell tweeted something about blacks and a gang shooting, and it turned out to be white guys. He would be gone so fast. Whites seriously need to start calling out racism from POSs like this woman. Allowing people like her to make comments like that only hardens the other side more against her. Why don't these democrats understand that?
The hard core progressive liberal Dems understand it just fine, but why let opportunities to continue their hate mongering agenda go to waste?
I'm sure you and your antifa buddies are bummed out you don't get to go out and protest white supremacy.
Are you f-ing serious? Nothing "worked out well". Innocent people, no matter what their races, ethnicities, or religions are DEAD!
The killers belonged to the same hate group that threatened the Covington High School students.
WHAT "white grievance crowd"?
My comment about "white grievance" has nothing to do with the murders in New Jersey, it has to do with white people who are outraged that the media didnt immediately identify the killers as non white.
Or they are outraged that a member of Congress assumed the killers were white.
Talib's mistake is something of a stain on her character, I would say. It is not a signal for white people on an internet forum to lash out stupidly about race. I have seen all of this before, and I know exactly what "white grievance" is about. And I know how it expresses itself.
Let's take a poll of the responders to this seed. How many of them think there is more black on white racism in America than white on non white?
Come on all of you MAGA's, dont be shy, raise your hands.
Now that's a funny comment !
What were your comments about Trumps statements on the rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017 again ?
Maybe it should have been the same as your speaking here about your Fav. racist ? :
"It is not a signal for white people on an internet forum to lash out stupidly about race."
You dont know what you are talking about.
You know you will not get a reasonable or coherrent answer. All you will get is deflection an innuendo. That's what he does when pressed or backed into a corner.
That's the most cold hearted statement on this page. Pretty sad dude!
With lawmakers like her, I'd be concerned about the future of the USA - what could have been in the minds of those who voted for her?
The main things they shared with her, hatred of America and non Muslims! This woman really needs to be voted out of office ASAP along with the rest of the squad!
It's so cute when the Democrats keep trying to sound "Relevant" !
Yep, increasingly a lost cause.
Dude, 90% of the people on this forum can never understand what you are talking about, and you are worried about the 'relevance' of others?
lol.
After you make a string of coherent, understandable "arguments" we can talk.
Whom is it you "Polled" ?
aaaaahhhhhh…. the "Bowled" crowd.
I should have been that specific. The tRump type crowd is a great source to "Bowl" for the "Left". It's the only "Majority" they really have.
Observation.
Selective.
Sounds a bit "Racist" to me !
Some of them are faced with a real dillemma!
Subjective.
Subjective.
"Dude, 90% of progressive leftist liberals on this forum...".
There, I fixed it for ya!🤣
I was at a family and friends party a couple weeks ago. A birthday party for one of the adults. Everyone there was "white". Just to set the stage a little, everyone of these people has a good job, or is retired and doesnt work. Not one of them is hurting for money in any real sense. They have very comfortable lives with nice cars, nice houses, good families with lots of kids and grandkids, and they live in good middle class neighborhoods that are low crime and well respected. Many of the guys there work for the city of Chicago, in well paying union jobs.
At one point the group discussion held around the large kitchen island turned, for some reason, to mixed marriages. A woman who I dont know well, although I know her husband a little, starting complaining that the races should stick to themselves. She doesnt understand why we have "integration" , and that people are happier when they are with people of their own race. Then we heard about welfare, crime, bad neighborhoods, the way black people talk and dress, why blacks cant get good jobs, then we heard about "Arabs". One woman at the table asked why ( when she was in high school probably 30 years ago) they had to let Arabs into the Catholic school she attended.
One of my nephews, who is a Chicago fireman , and who has a wonderful group of 5 teenage kids who think the world of him, said that he wished the Chicago cop who (a few days before there was an incident where a cop body slammed a perps (black perp of course) head into a concrete curb) badly injured someone, whose crime was he spit in the cops face , had killed the guy. I asked him if someone should die because he spit in a cops face, and my nephew said yes. Then he got mad because I didnt agree with him. The black guy was stopped by the police because he was drinking a beer at a bus stop. I guess an argument ensued and the black guy spit in the cops face. The cop damn near killed the guy by picking him up to head level and slamming him into the concrete curb and sidewalk. The guys head visibly bounced off the curb.
NONE of these people at this party is under any danger from blacks whatsoever. Other than the fireman, none of them have to spend any time around blacks or Mexicans or Arabs.
So what is the point of this stuff? White grievance.
Diversity only comes in words with your family ?
I think I have good reason to be both somewhat amused and insulted by her remark. I am curious about one thing, did you say anything to set the racists at the party straight?
