Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy opted to weigh in on Rep. Rashida Tlaib's atrocious behavior since Hamas launched a series of terror attacks against Israel on October 7. It wasn't specifically about this incident, but a synagogue leader was recently murdered in Detroit—and there appeared to be conspicuous silence from the terrorist-sympathizing Democrat. Rebecca wrote about the homicide yesterday:

Tragedy struck in Detroit over the weekend, when 40-year-old Samantha Woll was found dead after a fatal stabbing outside of her home. She had been the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022 and had formerly served as an aide to Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and was a campaign staffer for Attorney General Dana Nessel (D), according to the Detroit Free Press. She had been identified in a statement by Mayor Mike Duggan, the Associated Press mentioned. Woll was also known for having founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. The synagogue is in the 13th Congressional District, not far from Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) 12th Congressional District, who represented the 13th until the maps were redrawn due to redistricting.
The headline from the Associated Press noted that "Police don’t have a motive," a point stressed throughout the article, as was also mentioned by the Detroit Free Press and plenty of other news coverage. The Al Jazeera headline was even more direct in pointing out that "US synagogue head killed as police warn against speculation over motive."

As Rebecca noted, Tlaib hasn't used any of her social media accounts with significant followings to address the murder. Barstool's Dave Portnoy said her silence is deafening, given that this story hits close to her home district. Portnoy was also community-noted, though it disappeared. The note highlighted how Tlaib posted about Woll's death on her smallest social media account:

Any comment @RashidaTlaib on this brutal murder? Isn't this your city? Almost all politicians have spoke about this tragedy. Your silence is deafening. pic.twitter.com/3oEMgmFDBs

Can I community note a community note? She posted on small unverified FB page (she has official accounts) that 99.9% of world didn't know existed.Still better than nothing, but I'd think a "leader" would want to be as vocal/loud as possible with tragedy this close to her home https://t.co/nL14GYeADv
— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) October 22, 2023
And why I thought it was important for her to speak LOUDLY on this tragedy is because tensions are wildly high right now across the globe. This tragedy seemed like appropriate time to condemn violence and show compassion in US as vocally as possible. Not overly complicated.

Rashida Tlaib has thus far only posted something about the murder of Samantha Woll on her personal Facebook page (47k followers). Nothing on her two official FB pages (53k and 78k), her Instagram feed (459k) or her Twitter account (1.4m).

The only smaller platform she has than the one she used is her TikTok account (22.6k) which, apropos of nothing, also contains zero mention of the murder.

Given how she smirked and remained silent when asked about Israeli babies being beheaded and burned, it's not shocking she half-a**ed the Woll news.
