Rashida Tlaib's Holocaust exploitation was abominable
The Federalist wrote about disgusting Congresswoman Tlaib's rewriting and exploiting the Holocaust narrative to suit her repellent agendas:
Tlaib was no doubt aware that a lot of folks would be offended by her false narrative: the claim that Palestinians willingly and generously sacrificed much for the express purpose of giving Jews a safe haven after the Holocaust of the 1940s. Thus, the purpose of her softly worded preface: “There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think about the Holocaust.” That’s really a shocking juxtaposition of words.She's already proving herself one of the most loathsome people in politics. She doesn't even acknowledge the Jerusalem Mufti, Haj-Amin Husseini, was a collaborator with the nazis during WW2. Her latest antics are only making things worse, especially since the Democrats will not distance themselves from her.
Clearly, it’s the shock effect of Tlaib’s preface that really gets our attention. It also gets her claim circulating in public discourse. That’s how an “availability cascade” is supposed to work. According to Cass Sunstein’s and Timur Kuran’s wonkish definition, an availability cascade “is a self-reinforcing process of collective belief formation by which an expressed perception triggers a chain reaction that gives the perception of increasing plausibility through its rising availability in public discourse.”
