SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Joe Biden is now keeping his promise to Congresswoman Tlaib. You know, Congresswoman Tlaib's greatest hits include her 2019 outburst that she gets a calming feeling every time she thinks of the Holocaust. Why would Joe Biden be taking consult from her? Because that's virulent antisemitism. So you got like a Holocaust lover in Congress advising the president on Israeli policy. You can't have it any more ass-backwards than this.
