Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) took to social media on Friday to respond to the recent shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed at least 49 people. The congresswoman shared a photo of herself with her two sons, Adam and Yousif, in a Twitter post condemning white supremacy and violence. Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) became the first Muslim women ever elected to Congress in November. “This morning I hugged my two brown, Muslim boys a little tighter and longer,” Tlaib, who is also the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress wrote on Friday.
