Democrat Rashida Tlaib Accused of ‘Celebrating Terrorism’ in Pro-Hamas Speech – EVOL

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is facing another Republican-led push to censure her after a weekend speech at a pro-Hamas conference in Detroit.

During the event, the radical congresswoman denounced both parties for backing Israel.

Tlaib, the first Palestinian American elected to Congress and a frequent critic of Israel, told attendees at the People’s Conference for Palestine that Washington was losing ground in the fight over Gaza.

“Outside of the decaying halls of the empire in Washington, D.C., we are winning. They are scared,” Tlaib declared.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA), who introduced the censure resolution, blasted Tlaib for what he described as dangerous rhetoric that emboldens anti-Semitism.

“Her conduct is beneath that of a civilized person, let alone a member of Congress,” Carter warned.

“I am calling on the House of Representatives to censure her remarks and put Democrats on notice for enabling and cheering on antisemitism in their own party.”

Carter’s resolution accuses Tlaib of “vilifying her colleagues, endangering the lives of Jewish people, and celebrating terrorism.”

The Georgia Republican, who is running for U.S. Senate in 2026, also tied Tlaib’s speech to other speakers at the conference who explicitly advocated for disrupting U.S. defense supply chains and targeting Western leaders.
