Barstool's Dave Portnoy Weighs in on Rashida Tlaib's Silence Over Synagogue President’s Murder in Detroit

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:

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.
