Over the weekend, at a rally in Dearborn, Miss., Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib had the opportunity to denounce the “Death in America” chant, telling Fox News reporter Hillary Waugh Hillary Vaughn yelled angrily.
Chantings could be heard as activist Tarek Bazzi addressed the crowd at the rally. Bazzi, a critic of U.S. foreign policy, outraged the crowd by saying “the slogan ‘Death to Israel’ has become the most logical slogan in the world today.”
Bazzi also called President Biden “Genocide Joe” and said he “has to go.”
The rally was held in the Tlaib area, which includes Dearborn, home to the largest Muslim population per capita in the United States and the largest mosque in North America.

Rashida Tlaib won’t condemn ‘Death in America’ slogans
One might think it would be fairly easy to condemn the slogan “Death to America.” Especially when you’re a sitting member of the House of Representatives.
That’s not the case for Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Vaughn asked: “When people chanted ‘Death to America’ at a rally in your district, do you condemn that?”
“I don’t talk to Fox News,” Tlaib responded. She shouted this repeatedly.
The Democratic lawmaker offered another opportunity, replying: “I’m not going to talk to someone who uses a racist trope.”

“The use of racist tropes against my community is the subject of Fox News and I will not speak to Fox News,” Tlaib claimed without evidence.
“Is chanting death to America racist?” Vaughn wondered.
“I’m talking about your racist tropes. You know exactly what you’re doing. I know you’re Islamophobic,” Tlaib added.

The murder of a baby cannot be condemned
This is not the first time that Democrat Rashida Tlaib has been unable to simply condemn a heinous atrocity.
Vaughan asked her to comment on reports that militants were killing children following the Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas.
While the validity of these claims is unclear, it should be easy to condemn such behavior simply by adding the phrase “if true.”
Tlaib, however, couldn’t bring herself to do that.

Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress, accused Israel of an “apartheid government.”
She has a rich and well-documented history of spreading anti-Semitism.
While she strives to denounce terrorism and chant “Death to America,” she has no problem expressing emotion – crying hysterically – when she and other members of her squad are called out for engaging in the aforementioned anti-Semitism.
