Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., said those trying to silence her are not focused on saving the lives of innocent civilians caught in the Israel-Hamas war.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Monday slammed her Republican colleagues who introduced resolutions to censure her over her recent comments on the Israel-Hamas war. In a written statement, the 'Squad' member said the censure resolutions were 'distorting' her stance on the matter and 'filled with obvious lies.' 'It’s a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving lives, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 10,000,' Tlaib, D-Mich., said.
In a post on her Instagram Story on Sunday, Tlaib further accused Biden of 'complicity' in the deaths of children in the Middle East. Tlaib also blamed Congress in her Monday statement for not listening to most Americans, whom she says support a mutual cease-fire, along with the release of hostages and providing humanitarian aid.
The Biden administration has resisted a push for a cease-fire, instead calling for humanitarian pauses in order to get aid to Palestinian civilians as well as to pull Israeli hostages out of Gaza. FOX News' Landon Mion and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
