Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has been slammed for wrongly blaming white supremacy for the deadly Jersey City shooting at a kosher supermarket.
The Democratic congresswoman had tweeted a photo of one of the three slain victims gunned down inside the JC Kosher Supermarket on Tuesday in an attack that authorities have said was ‘fueled’ by anti-Semitism.
‘This is heartbreaking. White Supremacy Kills,‘ she tweeted from her personal Twitter account on Thursday.
Tlaib appeared to delete the tweet soon after
A screenshot of her deleted tweet started circulating on Twitter and she was accused by some of trying to incite hatred.
Tlaib also tweeted about the shooting on her official Twitter account without referencing white supremacy.
‘It was beyond heartbreaking to learn of what appears to be another anti-Semitic act of violence. The hate growing in our country is toxic,’ the tweet said.
‘We must do so much more to fight it and stem the tide of gun violence. My love goes out to the victims, the first responders, their families, and the community of #JerseyCity.’
That tweet remains on her official page.
