Democrats criticize Rep. Rashida Tlaib for her pro-Palestinian comments

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is facing backlash from some of her fellow Democrats, including in her home state of Michigan, over her recent remarks about Palestinians amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Tlaib, who is Palestinian American and one of just three Muslim members of Congress, posted a video to the social media site X on Friday featuring footage of pro-Palestinian protests from across the country, as well as remarks from President Joe Biden expressing his support for Israel.

“People who are saying, Israel, right or wrong, we’re for you all the way, that’s not going to work. This is a horrendously complex issue.” Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash. — the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, who has warned Biden about his support for Israel and called for a cease-fire — on Sunday declined to side with Tlaib’s claim that the president supports “genocide” in an interview on MSNBC’s “Inside With Jen Psaki.
