Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, is once again refusing to condemn radical anti-American sentiments from her constituents. At a recent rally in her own district, protesters were caught on video chanting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel.”
Yet when confronted by Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn about this disturbing display, Tlaib became aggressive and refused to give a clear answer.
In the video, Tlaib can be seen repeatedly dodging the question and making excuses for her refusal to condemn the chants. She even goes as far as to accuse Vaughn and her network of using “racist tropes” towards her community. This type of behavior is unacceptable from an elected official and only serves to divide our country further.
It’s not surprising that Tlaib, who has a history of making controversial and divisive statements, would refuse to condemn such blatant anti-American rhetoric. After all, she has a history of making controversial and divisive statements, including calling for the impeachment of President Trump on her first day in office and using explicit language to describe him.
But what is truly concerning is Tlaib’s refusal even to acknowledge the chants as racist. She actually tries to deflect the question by accusing Vaughn of Islamophobia. This is a tired tactic often used by Democrats to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions and words.
It’s clear that Tlaib is more interested in playing the victim and trying to paint Fox News as the enemy rather than addressing the real issue at hand – the dangerous and hateful rhetoric of her own constituents.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib lost it at Fox Business’ @hillary__vaughn who asked if she condemns the “death to America” chants at a rally in her district.

As a representative, Tlaib is responsible for condemning hate speech and uniting her community. Instead, she chooses to play partisan politics and refuses to even have a conversation with a news outlet that doesn’t align with her beliefs. This type of behavior is unacceptable and does a disservice to her constituents.
