Representative Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) has called for Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) to be removed from her seat in the House because of a speech she gave on Saturday. Tlaib offered remarks to members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a secular Marxist-Leninist group that has been involved in multiple terrorist incidents since its founding in 1967.

Tlaib gave a virulently anti-Semitic address to a gathering in Detroit for the “People’s Conference for Palestine.” Several members of PFLP could be spotted at Tlaib’s speech, where she blasted President Joe Biden, accusing the Democrat of vacillating on Israel in regard to what she called a “genocide” in Gaza.

Lawler took to X on Sunday, claiming that Tlaib’s support for PFLP disqualified her from sitting in Congress.

A member of the so-called Squad of far-left Democrats in the House of Representatives, which also includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressely (D-Mass.), and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), Tlaib has long been a thorn in Biden’s side for her unabashed support of the Palestinian movement, some factions of which seek to wipe Israel off the map.

On Saturday, Tlaib accused Biden of “enabling” Israel’s “apartheid” government as it wages its war in Gaza in response to the October 7, 2023 terror attack by Hamas.

“President Biden says what’s happening in Gaza is not a genocide. Where’s your red line, President Biden?” Tlaib asked, to a chorus of boos directed at Biden.

“Just imagine — war crimes,” Tlaib said, referencing reports she claims to have seen about deaths in Gaza. “President Biden, I hope you hear us loud and clear.”

“Every single bullet, every single gun, every single weapon, bombs that we send, is a sacrifice of our own schools here at home,” Tlaib declared.

Tlaib was also harsh with her fellow members of Congress.

“When I watched my colleagues, one by one, voting ‘yes’ to send $14 billion to the apartheid regime, those committing genocide, all I kept thinking about is that us, the United States, is the primary investor and funder of genocide,” she said. “We’re literally co-conspirators. It’s shameful.”

Tlaib also claimed that protesters who have been disrupting college campuses this year deserved an apology from all who opposed them.

“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 ranted. “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?” Tlaib warned.

What, exactly, did Tlaib’s threat mean? Perhaps it was a reference to a tactic used by Michigan Democrats in their primary, when more than 100,000 voters chose to vote “uncommitted” rather than cast a vote for Biden. Biden, of course, still won the primary, but if a similar number chose not to support Biden in November, it could cost Biden the state with its 15 electoral votes.

Tlaib had more angry words for Biden on social media, posting on X Friday, “The whole world is taking action to stop the genocide of Palestinians, including the International Court of Justice. Where is President Biden’s ‘red line’?”

Tlaib accused Biden of enabling Israel after he criticized the International Court of Justice for their demand that Israel stop moving in Rafah.

“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,” Tlaib announced.

It’ll be interesting to see how Biden and his team will court those pro-Palestine voters in November as he’ll be forced to somehow mollify them, possibly at the risk of offending his supporters who remain solidly pro-Israel.
