Fox News contributor Charles Hurt blasted Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for allegedly using her grandmother as a political “pawn” in her public feud with Israel.
“Who uses their aging grandmother as a pawn to make a political point in what is really kind of a stupid political kerfuffle to begin with?” Hurt said during a Saturday appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
“There’s something really wrong with someone that does that … we shouldn’t let politics become this big of a deal in our personal family lives. It’s really ridiculous,” Hurt added.
