More Jew Hatred From Democrats

According to a report, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) both shared an antisemitic cartoon from an artist who once took part in an Iranian Holocaust denial contest.

Per Forward editor Batya Ungar-Sargon, Tlaib and Omar both shared the image on their Instagram "stories." The freshmen Congresswomen were barred from entering Israel last week because of their support of  the Palestinian "boycott, divestment, sanctions” (BDS) movement. Tlaib was granted humanitarian access to visit her grandmother in a Palestinian village per her request, but she turned it down, saying Israel was trying to suppress her.

Oof. Looks like both Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib shared this awful Carlos Latuff cartoon in Instagram stories yesterday. In 2006, Latuff came in second in Iran's International Holocaust Cartoon Contest, which is a thing that exists, in case you thought the TL couldn't get any worse. pic.twitter.com/uwyBPAsz7T

The cartoonist in question, Carlos Latuff, won second prize at an Iranian contest in 2006 where artists drew cartoons that denied the Holocaust, Breitbart News reported. Latuff tweeted this out in response to the controversy early Sunday morning:

To whom it may concern: this is the cartoon I participated in the International Holocaust Cartoon Competition (2006) and the interview I gave in 2008 about it for the Jewish Daily @jdforwardhttps://t.co/eSRuKMIjIO pic.twitter.com/WhSROMJMl0
