One of the members of 'The Squad' found herself in hot water because of a now deleted Tweet.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib got a lot of attention yesterday, after she tweeted that "white supremacy" was behind the Jersey City shooting that left multiple people dead.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said Thursday that assailants David Anderson and Francine Graham had expressed interest in the Black Hebrew Israelites, but added that investigators "have not definitively established any formal links to that organization or to any other group."
