Rep. Tlaib is facing calls for censureship over her actions in the wake of the Hamas terrorist invasion of Israel, including allegedly inciting an anti-Israel demonstration at a Capitol office building. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.,In a passionate speech, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., blasted Republicans for continuing to stand with Israel as the war in the Middle East claims civilian lives on both sides of the conflict.
“What is true here is that every single one of them has not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in the tens of thousands, but will continue to say it is us who are not acknowledging humanity,” Rep. Omar. “Rashida will stand strong and the Palestinian movement will continue for liberation until every single Palestinian has the right to live in liberty.” She was then cut off by House Speaker Mike Johnson for exceeding the time allotted for her speech.
