Of course, the Diversity Department of the BBC forbade such negative optics
and instead, portrayed Rashida Tlaib as a kind and considerate member of
Congress.
Lay it on thick, BBC.
So are beheadings a tradition of the US...? and calling your President such a name
draws applause?
Seriously, there's more on the fashions of Palestinian women in the article, but it's all
too sickly-sweet. It omits that she's a divorced single-mother and that she wants to
abolish ICE.
Oh... and you can forget any reporting on what she said about Trump.

Quote:Rashida Tlaib wears traditional Palestinian dress to take oathBBC:
'Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib has been sworn into office while wearing
a traditional garment stitched by her Palestinian-born mother.
Ms Tlaib had been expected to take her oath on a Koran owned by Thomas
Jefferson, but changed her mind, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Ms Tlaib and Minnesota's Ilhan Omar became the first-ever Muslim female
members of Congress on Thursday.
Native-American Deb Haaland also wore traditional dress for the ceremony.
The New Mexico Democrat, who is one of two first female Native American
members of Congress, wore traditional dress of the Pueblo tribe, including
silver and turquoise jewellery and moccasins.
On Thursday, hundreds of lawmakers from across the US arrived in Washington
to be sworn in as members of Congress.
Although no text is required for the oath, many US lawmakers have traditionally
held the Bible as they vowed to protect the US Constitution from "all enemies,
foreign and domestic".
In an interview with the Detroit Free Press, Ms Tlaib, 42, said she would be using
the Koran owned by America's third president, but she later told the paper that
she had instead decided to use a family Koran.
"My swearing in on the Koran is about me showing that the American people are
made up of diverse backgrounds and we all have love of justice and freedom".
"It's important to me because a lot of Americans have this kind of feeling that Islam
is somehow foreign to American history," she said.
"Muslims were there at the beginning... Some of our founding fathers knew more
about Islam than some members of Congress now."...'
