CNN Faces Backlash Over False Antisemitism Claims Against Rep. Rashida Tlaib

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash accused Tlaib of antisemitism based on misrepresented comments, prompting media criticism and calls for retraction.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib criticized Michigan AG Dana Nessel for prosecuting pro-Palestinian protesters differently from other activists, without mentioning Nessel's Jewish faith.
CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash falsely reported that Tlaib accused Nessel of bias due to her religion, leading to widespread media misrepresentation.
The Detroit Metro Times, which originally reported Tlaib's comments, clarified that Tlaib never referenced Nessel's Jewish identity.
The baseless accusations prompted backlash from media watchdogs and calls for CNN to issue corrections and apologies.
Despite evidence refuting the claims, a group of House Democrats released a statement condemning the alleged antisemitic remarks, further perpetuating the false narrative.
