Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib has made no secret of her support for the Palestinian people after Hamas slaughtered more than 1,000 innocent Israelis.
The “Squad member did not have much to say about the slaughter, but she cannot stop talking about the suffering of the people in Gaza as Israel retaliates for the massacre of its people.
This week she shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, in which she threatened President Joe Biden with consequences in the 2024 presidential election if he does not immediate support a cease-fire to stop “the genocide of the Palestinian people.”
The scenes in the video showed protests in various cities in the nation with people chanting slogans like “No peace on stolen land!” Illinois “Free! Free! Palestine!” and Michigan “From the river to the sea.”
“We will remember in 2024,” she said before the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” appeared on the screen.
In October Tlaib refused to condemn the reported slaughter of babies in an Israeli settlement by members of the terrorist group Hamas, which launched a surprise attack against the Jewish state last weekend.
Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, was asked repeatedly by Fox News correspondent Hillary Vaughn as they walked down a hallway in the Capitol Building if she condemned the reported mutilation and burning of infants and children, but she refused to utter a word.
“Hamas terrorists have cut off babies’ heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel’s right to defend themselves against such brutality?” the Fox News correspondent asked.
At another point, as she continued to trail Tlaib, Vaughn pressed, “You can’t comment about Hamas terrorists chopping off babies’ heads?” And: “Do Israeli lives not matter to you?”
Tlaib was also ripped for posting a Palestinian flag outside her office, which drew support from fellow Democrats.
Fox News added:
FOX News’ Lawrence Jones pressed top Democrats on Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., flying the Palestinian flag outside her office and the Biden administration previously greenlighting $6 billion to Iran as bloodshed continues to engulf the Israel-Gaza border.
The “FOX & Friends” co-host tracked down several lawmakers on Capitol Hill as Tlaib faces backlash after her recent refusal to condemn Hamas for brutally killing Israeli women and children. He asked them how they felt about her flying the controversial flag.
“This is America,” Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) said when Jones asked him about her flag. “You’re allowed [inaudible] the flag that you prefer.”
“I think she has every right to have that Palestinian flag,” Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal said.
“She’s Palestinian… that doesn’t mean she’s a terrorist,” Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer added. “It doesn’t mean that she condones this.”
