GOP Congressman Spent His Week Harassing Muslim Colleague On Twitter

[Suburban Warrior]

Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) spent his first week at work since the government reopened harassing a Muslim colleague on Twitter with baseless suggestions that she hates Jewish people.

It started on Tuesday, when he found out he had been chosen as the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. Exciting! But he couldn’t fully rejoice in the honor of being the second-most-powerful member of a House subcommittee because he also learned that he would have to work on the panel alongside freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).

“Crazy to watch what House Dems are empowering/elevating,” Zeldin tweeted.

Was just selected as Ranking Member of the @HouseForeign Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations! Just learned Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar was also put on this committee w oversight of US foreign policy. Crazy to watch what House Dems are empowering/elevating.

1. Classy!

Should he expect a reprimand?

3. If he doesn't get one now, he'll get one soon...

seems like he's pushing to intimidate his colleague, won't go well for him. He's being called out now, probably will be removed from the committee.
