Republicans and Democrats Are Lying to You About Rashida Tlaib
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2023-11-08

Rashida Tlaib gave a heartfelt and emotional speech on the House floor in defense of herself during a debate on a motion to censure her. She responded to defamatory accusations and misrepresentations of her position (e.g. that she endorsed Hamas’ 10/7 attack, and supports eliminating Israel), and defiantly condemned the Biden administration for downplaying Israel’s war crimes in Gaza. Finally, she pleaded with her colleagues to see the humanity in Palestinians. In this video we’ll watch her speech and breakdown criticisms she’s received from Republicans and Democrats.
