Rashida Tlaib flips out when asked to condemn ';Death to America'; chants by anti-Israel protesters in her district
Socialist Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan melted down when a Fox Business reporter asked her to condemn constituents in her district who chanted ";Death to America!"; during a protest against Israel.The chants were documented at a rally in Dearborn‚ Michigan‚ by protesters on International Al-Quds Day. At least one activist speaker condemned the U.S. for its support of Israel while it wages war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip. ";Its not just Genocide Joe that has to go. It is the entire system that has to go‚"; said Tarek Bazzi at the rally. ";Any system that would allow such atrocities and such devilry to happen‚ and would support it such a system does not deserve to exist on Gods Earth.";";You';re Islamophobic.";On Wednesday‚ Tlaib was confronted by reporter Hillary Vaughn of Fox Business as she walked with an aide in a building at the U.S. Capitol. I dont talk to Fox News! the congresswoman yelled at Vaughn repeatedly. ";Do you condemn people who chant ';Death to America';?"; Vaughn asked. ";Using racist tropes against my community is what Fox News is about‚ and I don';t talk to Fox News!"; she added. ";You guys know exactly what you do‚"; she continued as she walked into a separate elevator. ";And I know you';re Islamophobic. But you guys gotta deal with it your own self‚ you';re not gonna use me!"; Enemies of Israel have pressured Democrats and President Joe Biden to end support for Israel';s war on Hamas after the terror group attacked the Jewish state and slaughtered 1‚139 people. The heinous attack on Oct. 7 included the deaths of 36 children and the kidnapping of about 250 Israeli hostages by the terror group. Pro-Palestinian protesters have even harassed other Democrats‚ including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York‚ for not condemning Israel enough for their liking. Just after the attack in October‚ a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll found that Americans overwhelmingly support Israel by 84% to only 16% who said they supported Hamas. Among younger Americans‚ however‚ a small majority of 51% said that the Palestinian grievances against Israel justified the terror attack. International Al-Quds Day coincides with the last day of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Here';s the video of Tlaib';s meltdown: Like Blaze News?
