Tlaib Triggers Rare Rule After Republican Accuses Her of Defending Terrorists

Tlaib, a Palestinian-American and one of only two Muslim women in Congress, opened her floor remarks by calling for an end to “U.S. participation in the Israeli apartheid regime’s invasion of Lebanon.”

He also refused to issue an apology

She accused the Israeli military of targeting journalists and using American tax dollars “to commit war crimes.” Advertisement Miller, who is Jewish, responded by going directly at Tlaib. He referenced Hezbollah.

“Its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent,” Miller said.

When Tlaib reacted, hollering at Miller from across the chamber, though her words were not picked up on the microphone, Miller stood his ground.
