'Boycott 93% of her own party?' Maher responds to Tlaib's call for a boycott of his show

HBO comedian Bill Maher responded to Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib days after she suggested people boycott his show over comments he made criticizing boycotts against Israel.

"Some people have one move only: boycott. Cancel. Make-go-away. But here's the thing, the house voted 318 to 17 to condemn the #BDS movement, including 93% of Dems," Maher tweeted Tuesday, referencing the House's vote earlier this year to condemn the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, which aims to penalize Israel for Palestinian living conditions. "Does Tlaib want to boycott 93% of her own party?"

The feud between Tlaib and Maher began last week after the Israeli government barred Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota from traveling to the country, like they had planned, citing their support for the boycott movement.

Most politicians learn early on not to challenge Bill Maher. He's smart, he has a very sharp tongue, a long reach and a wide following.

She got her @$$ handed to her recently when she blocked a user on twitter. Steven Crowder was blocked and had his lawyer draft a letter saying that it was illegal to block constituents on a social media platform when that platform is used for one of your main sources of information to your voters. As they did with trump saying he couldn't block people on twitter or Facebook where he used those platforms as direct communications to the people. They made a law to force trump to not be able to block people from saying vulgar things, so shes held to the same law. WTG Crowder!
