Things got heated Tuesday night on Fox News’ Hannity when Fox News correspondent-at-large Geraldo Rivera blasted his colleagues for engaging in “cheap politics” by misrepresenting Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) recent comments on the Holocaust, claiming they were vilifying the Palestinian-American congresswoman.
Tlaib has been bombarded with conservative outrage and accusations of anti-Semitism after saying in a Yahoo News podcast earlier this week that she had a “kind of calming feeling” when thinking about her Palestinian ancestors providing a “safe haven for Jews” following the Holocaust.
During a panel discussion with host Sean Hannity and Fox News contributor Dan Bongino, Rivera immediately rallied to Tlaib’s defense, claiming that she “has really been victimized in a way that is unmistakable.”
