Rashida Tlaib Slammed for Response to Death of Synagogue President in Detroit
Tragedy struck in Detroit over the weekend, when 40-year-old Samantha Woll was found dead after a fatal stabbing outside of her home. She had been the president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue since 2022 and had formerly served as an aide to Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), and was a campaign staffer for Attorney General Dana Nessel (D), according to the Detroit Free Press. She had been identified in a statement by Mayor Mike Duggan, the Associated Press mentioned. Woll was also known for having founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit. The synagogue is in the 13th Congressional District, not far from Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) 12th Congressional District, who represented the 13th until the maps were redrawn due to redistricting.

Not only has Tlaib pushed the falsehood that Israel was responsible for the explosion at the hospital, her outrage could not be more selective. As of Sunday afternoon, she has not yet posted from either of her X accounts about Woll’s death.
The Detroit Free Press highlighted a post from the congresswoman’s personal page, though there’s nothing on her other Facebook pages, Instagram, or either of her X accounts. This is despite Tlaib’s Facebook referring to her as a “friend.”
Rashida Tlaib has thus far only posted something about the murder of Samantha Woll on her personal Facebook page (47k followers). Nothing on her two official FB pages (53k and 78k), her Instagram feed (459k) or her Twitter account (1.4m).

Newsweek highlighted outrage over Tlaib’s reaction–or lack thereof–on Saturday night, pointing out “Rashida Tlaib Under Fire After Detroit Synagogue Leader’s Slaying.”
“I point my finger at @RepRashida Tlaib for spreading a blood libel against Israel & Jews” I told @FoxFriendsFirst.
