Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, wept on the House floor Thursday as her Minnesotan antisemitic colleague, Rep. Ilhan Olam, was about to be expelled from the Foreign Affairs Committee. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo Congressman Omar, I am so sorry, sis, that our country is failing you today through this chamber,\u201d Tlaib cried while mumbling through her slurred words. <\/p>\n[READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/01\/31\/local-congresswoman-accidentally-spends-a-decade-being-an-antisemite\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Local Congresswoman Accidentally Spends A Decade Being An Antisemite<\/a>]\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rep.

But our leaders don\u2019t seem to know how to keep their emotions in check on matters of public policy, especially when they lose, and everybody knows that\u2019s a recipe for division and disaster. Either that, or it\u2019s a cynical pity ploy for the cameras.<\/p>\n<p> Tristan Justice, western correspondent of The Federalist, is also the author and editor of Social Justice Redux (a conservative newsletter about culture, health and wellness).
