A Michigan Democrat who says she plans to challenge far-left U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib in a primary for an open U.S. House seat in the state this fall has accused the Detroit congresswoman of “anti-Semitic rhetoric.”

“When she gets that mic in front of her, she goes crazy and goes to many extremes,” Shanelle Jackson, a former Michigan state representative from 2007-2012, told the Jewish Insider in an interview published Friday.

“I really feel like it’s now or never as it pertains to being able to sort of shut her down and calm down some of the anti-Semitic rhetoric,” Jackson added.

Tlaib, the lone Palestinian-American in Congress and progressive “Squad” member, has been criticized in the past by lawmakers from both major parties for rhetoric perceived as anti-Semitic.

Scoop: former state Rep. Shanelle Jackson is challenging Rashida Tlaib in the #MI12 House primary. “I really feel like it’s now or never as it pertains to being able to sort of shut her down and calm down some of the anti Semitic rhetoric,” Jackson said.

Last fall, for example, Tlaib referred to Israel as a “violent apartheid system” during a debate over funding for Israel’s Iron Dome system.

Tlaib also was accused of an anti-Semitic dog whistle last year when she claimed that people from “Gaza to Detroit” were being controlled by people “behind a curtain.” The reference sounded to some like an anti-Semitic conspiracy that rich Jewish “globalists” secretly control the world, according to the Times of Israel.

In 2019, the congresswoman also took heat over comments she made about the Holocaust, saying in a podcast, “There’s kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out” to create Israel.
