Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib angrily yelled at Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn after she was offered the opportunity 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 and angered the crowd by suggesting that “the ‘Death to Israel’ chant has become the most logical chant around the world today.”
Bazzi also referred to President Biden as “Genocide Joe” and said he “has to go.”
The rally took place in Tlaib’s district, which includes Dearborn, home to the largest Muslim-American population per capita, as well as the largest mosque in North America.

Rashida Tlaib will not condemn ‘Death to America’ chants
You would think that condemning the “death to America” chants would be easy enough. 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,’ do you condemn that?”
“I don’t talk to Fox News,” Tlaib responded. She shouts the phrase repeatedly.
When offered another opportunity, the Democratic lawmaker responded: “I don’t talk to people who use racist tropes.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib lost her mind on Fox Business @hillary__vaughn who asked him if he condemns the cries of “death to America” at a rally in his district.

“Using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is all about and I don’t talk to Fox News,” Tlaib claims without evidence.
“Is it racist to chant death to the United States?” Vaughn wonders.
“I’m talking about the racist tropes of your guys. You know exactly what you’re doing. “I know you’re an Islamophobe,” Tlaib adds.

The murder of babies could not be condemned
This is not the first time Democrat Rashida Tlaib has failed to make a simple condemnation of a heinous atrocity.
Vaughn challenged her to comment on reports following the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas that militants had killed children.
While the validity of those claims was unclear, condemning such actions should have been easy with the addition of the phrase “If true.”
However, Tlaib couldn’t bring herself to do it.

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 strives to condemn terrorism and sing “death to America” chants, she has no problem expressing emotion (crying hysterically) when she and her fellow squad members are criticized for engaging in said anti-Semitism.
