Rashida Tlaib questions President Joe Biden
The 47-year-old congresswoman said, “President Biden says what’s happening in Gaza is not a genocide. Where’s your red line, President Biden?”
“This is not even consistent with his own views on international law in the past where he’d sit there and said [Russian President Vladimir] Putin must be held accountable at the International Criminal Court,” she noted.
Continuing further, she added, “Every single bullet, every single gun, every single weapon — bombs that we send, is a sacrifice of our own schools here at home,” before asserting, “I’ll be damned if I wait 10 years before they apologize to all of you for doing what was right at this moment.”
Tlaib also slammed Biden for criticizing anti-Israel protesters.
“It is disgraceful that the Biden administration and my colleagues in Congress continue to smear them for protesting to save lives no matter faith or ethnicity. It is cowardly. But we’re not gonna forget in November, are we?” she asked.
Besides, the representative for Michigan's 12th congressional district went on to mention Biden’s stand against the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Joe Biden slammed International Criminal Court
The 81-year-old President earlier reportedly said, “The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous."
“And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security,” he stated.
“I will always ensure that Israel has everything it needs to defend itself against Hamas and all its enemies,” Biden added.
Rashida Tlaib calls Joe Biden ‘enabler’
Responding to President Joe Biden's criticism of the ICC, Tlaib mentioned, “Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court and interfering in the legal process is nothing more — nothing more — than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials from being held accountable for those crimes against humanity.”
“You are an enabler, President Biden,” she added.

Internet calls for Rashida Tlaib’s ‘impeachment’
Following Rashida Tlaib’s remarks, Representative Mike Lawler (R-NY) took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam her.
He wrote, “@RashidaTlaib should be removed from Congress immediately. Associating with and speaking before groups that are funded by US designated terrorist organizations is disqualifying.”

One person shared, “We keep saying this @SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP why she hasn’t been removed !! Why is she allowed to continue this !! Get her removed!!!”
Another added, “Move to Israel. You're disgusting.”
One reader commented in The New York Post's article, “I don't vote for Biden and I don't like his policies, however, why anyone would support his woman is beyond me. C'mon Michigan, vote her out!”
Another reader asked, “How the heck did we come to this point where we let people like this into our Congress? These people are anti-American and should never have anything to do with Washington.”
“This woman Rashida is a traitor to the other of her office and our country she should be thrown out of Congress and investigated by the FBI for ties to Hamas, Omar is the same,” another added.
