Rashida Tlaib refuses to condemn "Death to America" chants: jihad comes to America

An angry, disgusting woman who hates America and the Jewish people

Repulsive Rashida Tlaib (Squad-MI) attended a rally in her district where Hamas supporters chanted "death to America" and of course, "death to Israel." In spite of her pledge to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, the Democratic congresswoman refused to condemn the chanters and received bipartisan blow-back. 

At an “Al-Quds Day” rally in Dearborn, Michigan protesters chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel.” A speaker at the event even quoted Malcom X saying “We live in one of the rottenest countries that has ever existed on this earth.” 

Ironically, every moron who claims to believe this and chants this garbage has either come to the United States from a different country, or was born here and has no plans to go to a "better country," because there are no better countries than the USA.

The speaker continued, explaining that “The chant ‘death to Israel’ has become the most logical chant shouted across the world today.” It's especially 'logical' for hateful racists who now have a Nazi bandwagon to jump on. Many of these cretins are the same people who call conservatives 'white supremacists;' they obviously don't see themselves in the mirror.

Another speaker proclaimed “Israel is ISIS, they are Nazis, they are fascists, they are racists.” By making such ridiculous claims, they now believe they have the right to act in kind. If you call Israel genocidal, then it's okay to commit genocide against them.

Pro tip: Israel is not at all genocidal. If they were, Gaza would have been destroyed years ago and the IDF wouldn't take such care as to limit civilian casualties. Israel would not allow Arabs to participate in their Knesset and work in Israel if they were genocidal. But "shoe on other foot," there are no Jews in Gaza and if there were, they would be killed, like what the Gazan 'civilians' did to some of the hostages on Oct. 7.

Back to Dearborn.

The initial incident sparked condemnation from both sides of the political aisle. The mayor of Dearborn, Abdullah H. Hammoud, wrote on Twitter/X that, at the rally, people chanted “statements that were unacceptable and contrary to the heart of this city.

“We reject all inflammatory and violent statements made at the gathering. Dearborn is a city of proud Americans; the hateful rhetoric heard on Friday does not reflect the opinion of the members of this community,” he said. 

Even though he might not believe his words based on the history of the city, at least he vocalized them.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates told The Daily Caller that “The White House condemns these abhorrent and Antisemitic remarks in the strongest terms. As [US] President [Joe] Biden has said, America is the greatest nation on Earth and a beacon to the world.”

But Tlaib is a Democrat and the Party protects their own no matter how incendiary their words can be.

Tlaib was approached by a Fox News reporter on Wednesday, who asked if she condemned the chants. She replied, saying she did not speak to Fox News and that the reporter was engaging in Islamophobic tropes in asking her the question — likely because she perceived the reporter as questioning the patriotism and loyalty of Muslim Americans to the US.

Her logic is that if you ask a Muslim about anti-Israel and anti-American sentiments, you are Islamophobic, which simply translates to, "shut up."

The Republican Jewish Coalition’s national political director, Sam Markstein, had harsh words for Tlaib, telling The Algemeiner, a Jewish newspaper based in the United States, “It’s no surprise that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib would refuse to condemn anti-America and anti-Israel chants.”

He described Rep. Tlaib as “a disgrace” who “should not be representing the people of Michigan’s 12th district in Congress.”

Maybe she ought to go back to her roots in Gaza and run for office there.

Markstein argued, “House Democratic leadership has coddled and enabled her vicious anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric for years – it’s long past time for them to hold her accountable.”

But rather than dealing with Tlaib for what she represents, the left goes after, you guessed it, Trump for anti-Semitic rhetoric, or what is interpreted as such, even though he has been the most Israel-friendly president in our time. This isn't about Trump; it's about Tlaib and other anti-Semites on the Left. It's time to vote them out.

Ivy League Presidents try damage control after anti-Semitic testimonies

L to R: Frau Magill, Frau Gay, Frau Kornbluth [photo: Babylon Bee]

Question: What’s the difference between a lightbulb and a prostitute?

Answer: You can unscrew a lightbulb.

The presidents of Harvard, and UPenn made a feeble attempt at damage control after they testified on Capitol Hill for the House Committee on Education and the Workplace on Tuesday regarding anti-Semitism at their respective schools of leftist learning and along with the president of MIT came off with talking points that were obviously prearranged, perhaps by a legal team. But they received tons of negative feedback from the public and knew they were screwed.

Harvard President Claudine Gay, MIT President Sally Kornbluth, and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill each testified and when Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked them whether the call for genocide and mass violence against Jews would be considered a violation of harassment and bullying policies of their schools, she was stunned by the responses she received.

They tried to play it off as free speech and as long as nobody acted out on it, no foul, no harm. It all "depends on the context," or "when speech crosses into conduct."

What a load of crap. Put the shoe on the other foot and see how they would have responded if, say, genocide of blacks or gays was called for by students. You don't have to imagine the response because it's obvious.

Their prepared answers and failure to  "answer with moral clarity" shocked both those on the left and the right.

This is a question a child could answer, unless the child grew up in Gaza, perhaps.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, was livid.

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement on Wednesday, “It’s unbelievable that this needs to be said: calls for genocide are monstrous and antithetical to everything we represent as a country. Any statements that advocate for the systematic murder of Jews are dangerous and revolting — and we should all stand firmly against them, on the side of human dignity and the most basic values that unite us as Americans.

“It should not be hard to condemn genocide, genocide against Jews, genocide against anyone else,” he told reporters. “I’ve said many times, leaders have a responsibility to speak and act with moral clarity, and Liz Magill failed to meet that simple test. There should be no nuance to that — she needed to give a one-word answer,” he added.

By Wednesday afternoon, a petition calling for Ms. Magill’s resignation had grown to more than 3,000 signatures. Marc Rowan, the chief of Apollo Global Management and the board chair at the Wharton School of Business at Penn, asked the board of trustees to rescind their support for Ms. Magill.

“How much damage to our reputation are we willing to accept?” he wrote in a letter to the trustees.

Governor Shapiro, who is a nonvoting member of Penn’s board, urged the trustees to meet soon.

University sources, speaking on background, said that efforts were underway to hold a board meeting by phone this week. The university did not respond immediately to a request for comment. [...]

One can imagine people in the Middle East scrambling to deal with damage control.

Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager and Harvard alumnus, called on all three presidents to resign, citing the exchanges over genocide.

“It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews,” he wrote on X. “This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress.”

“They must all resign in disgrace,” he continued. “If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.” 

With so many calls to resign, Gay and Magill did damage control on Wednesday.

“In that moment, I was focused on our university’s longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable, [blah, blah, blah]” Magill said in a video statement. “I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. It’s evil — plain and simple.”

Her Peter Strzok smile no longer seen on her face as she put on a serious demeanor and faked sincerity.

She went on to say she believed "it would be harassment or intimidation" and said Penn is initiating "a serious and careful look at our policies."

While donors may stop donating to these institutes of wokeism, unless something is done about stopping federal funding and foreign donations, nothing is going to change.

Sen. Kennedy calls out Kamala Harris for what she is: DNC fires back

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) explained on Tuesday how American voters feel about Democratic Vice President Kamala Hahaharris. Speaking to Martha MacCallum, host of "The Story" on Fox News, the Senator cited recent polls that show a very high disapproval rating for both Harris and the so called President Joe Biden.

"I'm not saying that this is accurate, but I can read a poll, and the American people have concluded that President Biden is old, and he needs soup and an early bedtime," Sen. Kennedy said.

"They have concluded that Vice President Harris is not capable — that when her IQ gets to 75, she should sell," he continued. "Again, I'm not saying that's fair or accurate, but that's the conclusion today that the American people have reached. They’re pretty disgusted."

The dig at Harris’ obvious lack of intelligence prompted responses on X from White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates and Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison.

Bates in an attempt to sound like the down-home wisdom of Sen. Kennedy wrote on Tuesday, "Shameful and undignified comments like these from [Kennedy] start a fire sale on one’s credibility." 

Then Harrison also tried to get into the act with the following ad hominem knee-slapper: "Bless his heart. [G]uess Senator Foghorn is a bit upset that our VP has done more for the working families of Louisiana than he has done over the entirety of his unproductive senate career."

During his appearance on Fox Tuesday, the senator argued that the Biden administration "has embraced the neo-socialist, woke wing, loon wing of the Democratic Party. I mean, just look around. The American people might be poorer under President Biden, but they're not stupid.

"They see an open border. They experience inflation. They see the rampant crime," he said. "The American people look around and see the world on fire — the war in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, the embers smoldering in China — and they have concluded that, fair or unfair."

During an interview with CNN on Sunday, Harris responded to several of polls showing former President Donald Trump was ahead of President Biden in hypothetical election match-ups, as well as in battleground states. For an incumbent president, this is unheard of and shows that Kennedy is absolutely correct in his assessment of the clowns in charge.

"We’re going to have to earn our re-elect, there’s no doubt about it," Harris said without going into a fit of unchained laughter.

"It is absolutely right in a democracy with free and fair elections that the candidates, the people who want to continue in leadership have to make their case, and have to make it effectively," she continued. "And that means communicating in such a way that the message is received about the accomplishments and what we care about."

Yes. When it comes to communicating clearly, Kamala Hahaharris is the expert as the video below elucidates:

According to the RealClearPolitics national average of polls, Harris has a 54.6% unfavorable rating, compared to 36.5% favorable, while Biden has a 55.5% unfavorable rating, compared to 40.6% favorable.
