Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib angrily shouted at Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn after she was given the chance to condemn “death to America” chants shouted at a rally in Dearborn, Michigan, last weekend.
Chants could be heard as activist Tarek Bazzi addressed the crowd at the rally. Bazzi criticized US foreign policy, riling the crowd by suggesting that “the chant ‘Death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant in the whole world today.”
Bazzi also referred to President Biden as “Genocide Joe” and said he “needs to go.”
The demonstration took place in Tlaib’s district, which includes Dearborn, home to the largest American Muslim population per capita, as well as the largest mosque in North America.

Rashida Tlaib won’t condemn “Death to America” chants.
You might think that condemning “death to America” slogans would be pretty easy. Especially when you are a sitting member of the House of Representatives.
Not so for Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Vaughn asked, “At a rally in your district people were chanting ‘death to America,’ condemnation?”
“I don’t talk to Fox News,” Tlaib responded. He shouts the phrase repeatedly.
Offered another opportunity, the Democratic lawmaker responded: “I don’t talk to people who use racist clichés.”

“Using racist clichés against my community is what Fox News is about and I don’t talk to Fox News,” Tlaib claims without evidence.
“Is chanting death for America racist?” Vaughn wonders.
“I’m talking about your kids’ racist clichés. You guys know exactly what you’re doing. I know you’re Islamophobic,” Tlaib adds.

I could not condemn the murder of children
This isn’t the first time Democrat Rashida Tlaib has failed to form a simple condemnation of a heinous atrocity.
Vaughn challenged her to comment on reports following the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack that militants had killed children.
While the validity of such claims was confusing, condemning such actions should have been easy with the addition of the phrase “If it were true.”
Tlaib, however, failed to do so.

Tlaib is the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress and has accused Israel of being an “apartheid government.”
It has a rich and documented history of spreading anti-Semitic tropes.
And while she fights to condemn terrorism and chants of “death to America,” she has no problem expressing her emotions – crying hysterically – when she and her fellow Squad members are accused of engaging in said anti-Semitism.
