Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) responded dismissively to a Fox Business reporter on Wednesday when questioned about individuals in her home state screaming “Death to America” in a confrontational manner.
Hillary Vaughn from Fox News attempted to obtain a statement from Tlaib while reporting from Capitol Hill.
However, instead of responding to the inquiry or choosing to disregard Vaughn, Tlaib explicitly expressed her opinion about the network by repeatedly exclaiming, “I don’t talk to Fox News!”
Vaughn persistently inquired about the chants that occurred in Tlaib’s district, however, Tlaib adamantly declined to consider the prospect of providing an explanation.
The yelling took place at an anti-war demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan on Friday, which coincided with the International Day of Al-Quds.
This occasion is commemorated annually on the last Friday of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and is known for its pro-Palestinian stance.
A group of demonstrators chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” actions that were strongly criticized by local authorities, observers in the media and the White House.
Tlaib, the initial Palestinian-American to hold a position in Congress, has been forthright and unapologetic in expressing her endorsement for Palestinians residing in Gaza.
Her position has resulted in extensive condemnation from the pro-Israel conservative faction, including a reprimand spearheaded by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) aimed at censuring her for her extreme stance on the issue.
Sean Hannity, a commentator on Fox, has also alleged that Tlaib is the leader of the “Hamas Caucus in Congress.”
