Tlaib, who has been outspoken in her support of Omar, a fellow Muslim representative, called the Post cover a"pure racist act" on an interview with MSNBC Thursday."No more silence, with NY Post and now Trump taking Ilhan’s words out of context to incite violence toward her, it’s time for more Dems to speak up," Tlaib said."Clearly the GOP is fine with this shameful stunt, but we cannot stand by.
"Ilhan Omar is a leader with strength and courage. She won't back down to Trump's racism and hate, and neither will we," Sanders said on Twitter."The disgusting and dangerous attacks against her must end."
