Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) encouraged constituents to cast a protest vote in Michigan’s primary to challenge how the Biden administration has backed Israel during its fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In a video posted to social media on Saturday‚ Tlaib advocated for creating a voting block to oppose the conflict that ramped up after Hamas conducted terrorist attacks on Israeli soil in October‚ killing an estimated 1‚200 people. “We don’t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. We want to support life. We want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza‚” Tlaib said. “This is the way you can raise our voices‚ to make us even more visible‚” she added later. “Right now‚ we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. If you want us to be louder‚ then come here and vote uncommitted.” NEW ENDORSEMENT: “If you want us to be louder‚ come here and vote uncommitted.” –@RashidaTlaib pic.twitter.com/8pxuUjq5QG — #ListenToMichigan (@Listen2michigan) February 17‚ 2024 Tlaib is a member of the leftist “Squad” and is the sole Palestinian American member of Congress. She has voted against a number of resolutions geared toward expressing support for Israel and last year was censured for her response to the deadly terrorist attacks by Hamas. The video Tlaib appeared in came from a group called Listen to Michigan‚ which is urging voters to send President Joe Biden a “clear message” in the Democratic Party’s primary on February 27 by filling out the “Uncommitted” bubble on the ballot. “He’s not representing the young people who put him in office and turned out in the midterms — and are now out protesting his policies in the streets‚” the group said on its website‚ objecting to Biden’s support of Israel. The Biden administration has spoken out in favor of Israel defending itself against Hamas‚ sought more aid for the country‚ and pushed for the freedom of roughly 100 hostages who are still believed to be in the group’s captivity. But Biden is now urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to go through with a ground invasion of Gaza’s southern city of Rafah‚ where it is estimated that more than half the strip’s 2.3 million population have gathered during the conflict.

And that is underway. I’m still hopeful that that can be done‚” Biden said on Friday. “And in the meantime‚ I don’t anticipate — I’m hoping that you — that the Israelis will not make any massive land invasion in the meantime‚” he added.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on Sunday that President Joe Biden has “failed” to adequately communicate with the American people about the dangers posed to the United States by foreign adversaries. When ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked Haley on “This Week” to comment on the struggle to get billions of dollars in supplemental aid for Ukraine and Israel passed through Congress‚ she said “first we have to talk about” what Biden is doing as commander in chief. “The reason you’re seeing America become more isolationist is at no point has Joe Biden had a conversation with the American people about why Ukraine is important‚” Haley said. “At no point has he had a conversation with the American people about the terrorist activity that’s happening with Israel and why Iran is so dangerous. At no point is he talking about the threats of China.” She added‚ “And when you don’t talk about those things with the American people‚ they’re going to distance themselves from it. And so‚ Joe Biden has failed on that front. That has emboldened our enemies. That’s why you see them moving. It happened after the fall of Afghanistan. It is continuing to happen.” “Congress is failing because they are making this sound like you have to choose between Ukraine and Israel or securing the border. They are lying to the American people. That’s a false premise. We can do both‚” Nikki Haley tells @JonKarl. https://t.co/MXVcL7y8wc pic.twitter.com/ZRADuGcp9v — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) February 18‚ 2024 Haley‚ a former governor of South Carolina‚ gained foreign policy experience serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration. She is now running for the GOP nomination against former President Donald Trump while Biden seeks re-election. While Haley took the opportunity to knock Trump for his recent anecdote about using hardball tactics to negotiate with NATO allies‚ she brought the conversation back to Congress‚ saying the U.S. needs to give Ukraine what its forces need to win against a Russian invasion “so that we can prevent sending any of our military men and women to fight.” Pressed on what Biden should be doing‚ with Karl noting that Biden has made trips and statements in support of Ukraine‚ Haley suggested that Biden work on improving his messaging on why providing aid to allies is linked to national security at home. “Joe Biden needs to be speaking more to the American people about what this package means and why it affects the American people and why it protects them from further war‚” she said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Haley also posted that some blame rests with Congress‚ alluding to a disagreement between lawmakers over linking border security reforms with foreign aid. “Congress needs to do their job and make sure that they go and do everything they can for national security‚” Haley said. “Congress is failing because they are making this sound like you have to choose between Ukraine and Israel or securing the border.” She added‚ “They are lying to the American people. That’s a false premise. We can do both. Securing our southern border is priority number one‚ but making sure that we help Ukraine and Israel is also about preventing war.”

Charlamagne tha God‚ co-host of “The Breakfast Club” syndicated radio show‚ said on Sunday that President Joe Biden was an “uninspiring candidate” and that Democrats should lean more on Vice President Kamala Harris for the upcoming election. Charlamagne tha God‚ whose real name is Lenard McKelvey‚ made the remarks during an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” with Jonathan Karl. McKelvey‚ who is on the political Left‚ took numerous shots at Republicans throughout the discussion‚ saying that “the crooks are the Republicans” and that former President Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. When asked why Biden’s messaging was not resonating with voters‚ McKelvey said the president was “just an uninspiring candidate‚ there’s nothing about Joe Biden that makes you want to listen to him.” “That’s why he should be leaning on his vice president‚ Kamala Harris‚ who is way more charismatic than him‚” he continued. “He should be leaning on other surrogates like [California Governor] Gavin Newsom or [Governor Josh] Shapiro in Pennsylvania.” McKelvey said Biden should be “the brains of the operation behind the scenes” because he “has no main character energy at all. None.” When asked if age had anything to do with Biden’s problem‚ McKelvey said: “I don’t think it has anything to do with age‚ I think it has just everything to do with him. Like Donald Trump is four years‚ three years younger than President Biden. But he just comes off a lot more youthful. He comes off‚ you know‚ like he has a lot more energy. And I always say this about him. Donald Trump seems more sincere about his lies than Joe Biden does about his truth.” Charlamagne tha God tells @JonKarl that Joe Biden is an “uninspiring candidate" who has "no main character energy." “That's why he should be leaning on his vice president‚ Kamala Harris‚ who is way more charismatic than him.” https://t.co/YKqlOPjZTV pic.twitter.com/71aPpQpuLj — This Week (@ThisWeekABC) February 18‚ 2024 McKelvey said that one reason that some voters are not taking what he claims would be a dangerous Trump second term seriously is because the political Left has always demonized all Republicans to the point where no one takes the claims seriously anymore. “And the other problem is they’ve always done this with every single Republican candidate‚ since I’ve been alive‚ whoever the Republican presidential candidate has been‚ they’ve demonized‚” he said. “It doesn’t matter who it is‚ it doesn’t matter if it’s John McCain‚ doesn’t matter if it was Mitt Romney‚ it doesn’t matter who it is. They will demonize the Republican candidate. And now that there’s an actual legitimate threat right there in our faces‚ they’re like‚ they’re like the party who cried wolf. Nobody believes them.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Charlamagne Tha God laments on ABC: “Whoever the Republican presidential candidate has been gets demonized….and now that there’s an actual legitimate threat right there in our faces‚ they’re like the party who cried wolf.
