Rep. Rashida Tlaib is getting backlash from fellow Democratic Party members who have asked her to remove a social media post justifying the phrase, 'from the river to the sea.'
Multiple members of the Democratic Party are calling out Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., after she attempted to justify the pro-Palestinian chant, 'From the river to the sea,' calling it an 'aspirational call for freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence.' Tlaib posted her interpretation of the chant to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on Nov. 3.
On Saturday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel called for Tlaib to 'retract' the 'cruel and hateful' social media post. '@RashidaTlaib, I have supported and defended you countless times, even when you have said the indefensible, because I believed you to be a good person whose heart was in the right place,' Nessel wrote in an X post. 'But this is so hurtful to so many. Please retract this cruel and hateful remark.' Another Democrat from Michigan, Rep.
ask the same of ,' Slotkin posted to X. 'The phrase ‘from the river to the sea’ is one of division & violence, & it is counterproductive to promoting peace. None of us, especially elected leaders, should amplify language that inflames a tense situation & makes it harder for our communities to find common ground.
