The Oakland Press: Township Trustee Criticized For Calling Zionists scum
Of course, she's set her account to private. But, there's a screenshot, as can be seen in the article where she attacks Israeli and American "Zionists" (for Zionist just read Jews - as people like her do). Stephanie Fakih is, to no one's surprise, a Democrat.
Now, she happens to be a Bloomfield Township Trustee and due to the outrage is apparently going to make a statement about her post tonight: C&G News Bloomfield Township trustee to address report of calling Zionists ‘scum’ in social media post.
She has the right to her opinion as she may wish, but there are consequences to racist opinions, and making her account private seems to be an acknowledgment that she got caught.
While she's not running for reelection, she should do the right thing and resign, but I suspect that will be not the most likely outcome.
She instead seems to be calling on Muslims from outside of Bloomfield Township to appear at the meeting to support her, so the meeting could get interesting and it'll be fun to see how she tries to handle her mess.
I expect Rashida Tlaib will have a position waiting for her when she's done as trustee.
