What Are Democrats Going To Do About Tlaib's Holocaust Revisionism?

During an interview for a podcast called Skullduggery, Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib absurdly claimed her Palestinian ancestors gave Jews safe haven during the Holocaust. Tlaib added this gave her "a calming feeling.":

There’s always kind of a calming feeling when I think of the tragedy of the Holocaust, that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence, in many ways, has been wiped out … in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-Holocaust, post-tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that in many ways.

There is absolutely nothing factual about her claim.

Muhammad Amin al-Husayni, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, opposed all Jewish immigration to British Mandated Palestine and aligned himself with the Nazis and was received by Adolf Hitler for a visit in November 1941.

Tlaib's Palestinian ancestors provided absolutely nothing to Jews but hatred and heartache. This was true during WWII and it is true today. This is demonstrated by the fact that Tlaib can only give a thought to the dignity of Palestinians who had no desire to give Jews any dignity whatsoever. This is yet another anti-Semitic obscenity on her part. Can we expect anything less of a woman who says her colleagues have forgotten which country they represent when they say a kind word about Israel?

The question now is what Democrats going to do about it, particularly House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Pressure not only must be brought to bear it must be sustained and enhanced when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar and some of the Democratic presidential candidates come to Tlaib's defense. After all, Tlaib is now engaging in Holocaust revisionism. If Democrats can tolerate Holocaust revisionism then they can tolerate all forms of anti-Semitism. This is intolerable.
