Facing calls to be primaried and increased scrutiny over her position toward Israel, the Michigan Democrat has remained silent.
Progressive Democrat Rashida Tlaib, one of the loudest critics of Israel within the U.S. government, has remained silent after being asked to take a stance in condemning Hamas' attack and justifying Israel's decision to retaliate.Early on Saturday, the Palestinian paramilitary group Hamas launched a surprise attack by land, sea, and air on Israel, killing hundreds of people, including civilians and soldiers, and kidnapping dozens.
Hillary Vaughn, a Fox News correspondent, asked Tlaib about Hamas fighters' actions in Israel, mentioning terrorists who 'cut off babies and burned children alive,' and whether she supported 'Israel's right to defend themselves against this brutality.'As Tlaib kept walking on, refusing to comment on the issue, Vaughn kept chasing her, asking her repeatedly if she condoned the 'chopping off of babies' heads.
