Rashida Tlaib holds "War Criminal" protest sign during Netanyahu speech

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) held up a sign that reads “guilty of genocide” on one side and “war criminal” on the other. She is standing. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) immediately moved to sit next to Tlaib, and the two engaged in a short conversation.

It takes incredible bravery to do this in a room of people who see her as subhuman, she could have skipped, but Tlaib chose to make sure that the voices of Palestinians being slaughtered by the man receiving standing ovations are present in the chamber.

this is the left, they have to bring their personal views into everything, just as several did at the hearing over the Trump assassination attempt. She should be removed for this.

Earlier this year, a lot of very cynical people kept asking why American college students were protesting a different country's war. Today Congress made even clearer than it already has that the United States is an enthusiastic partner in this genocide.

She would have been a hitler supporter, also.
