Rashida Tlaib, a socialist Democratic congresswoman from Michigan, was furious when asked by a Fox Business reporter to condemn voters in her district who were chanting “Death to America!” During a protest against Israel.
The chant was recorded at a rally held by protesters in Dearborn, Michigan, on International Al-Quds Day. At least one activist speaker denounced the United States’ support for Israel while waging war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
“It’s not just Genocide Joe that has to be abolished. It’s the whole system that has to be abolished,” Tarek Bazzi told the rally. “A system that allows and supports such brutality and diabolical acts has no place on God’s earth.”
“You are an Islamophobe.”
On Wednesday, Tlaib was walking through the Capitol building with an aide when he encountered Fox Business reporter Hilary Vaughn.
“I’m not talking to Fox News!” the lawmaker repeatedly yelled at Vaughn.
“Do you condemn those who cry ‘Death to America’?” Vaughn asked.
“It’s the nature of Fox News to use racist metaphors against my community, and I won’t talk to them!” she added.
“You all know what you’re doing,” she continued, getting into another elevator. “And I know you’re Islamophobic, but you guys have to deal with it yourself. You’re not going to take advantage of me!”
Israel’s enemies are pressuring Democrats and President Joe Biden to end their support for Israel’s Hamas war after the terrorist group attacked the Jewish state and massacred 1,139 people. The brutal attack on October 7 left 36 children dead and about 250 Israeli hostages kidnapped by the terrorist group.
Pro-Palestinian protesters have also harassed other Democratic politicians, including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for not condemning Israel enough.
Shortly after the October attacks, a Harvard University CAPS-Harris poll found that Americans overwhelmingly support Israel, with 84% saying they support Hamas, compared to just 16%. did. However, fewer young Americans (51%) say Palestinian dissatisfaction with Israel justifies terrorist attacks.
International Al-Quds Day coincides with the last day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Here’s a video of Tlaib’s meltdown.
