Far-left lawmaker Rashida Tlaib has accused Joe Biden of encouraging genocide in the Middle East and suggested she vote against him in November.
Addresses the following issues: Speaking at the Palestinian People's Conference in Detroit this weekend, Tlaib said he would not forget Biden's lukewarm support for Israel as Israeli security forces wage war against the Islamist terrorist group Hamas.
“It is disgraceful that the Biden administration and our colleagues in Congress continue to smear us. [anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian students on college campuses] We are protesting to save lives, regardless of faith or ethnicity. It's cowardly. But we won't forget November. Yes?” Tlaib said.
The Michigan congressman criticized Biden for criticizing the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He added, “President Biden, we hope you hear us loud and clear.” “Attacks on the authority of the International Criminal Court and obstruction of its legal proceedings are nothing more than attempts to stop genocidal mania.” [Prime Minister Benjamin] “Let Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials not be held accountable for their crimes against humanity.”
“You are an enabler, President Biden.” she declared.
Oh shit. “We will not forget this in November,” Rashida Tlaib said, accusing Joe Biden of enabling Israel’s genocidal government. pic.twitter.com/HLtYXXKEpx

This is not the first time Tlaib has stepped up against the Biden administration. Last February, she encouraged voters in Michigan to vote 'unconfirmed' in the state's primary, and many of them did so.
Tlaib has also repeatedly declined to endorse his campaign, instead urging voters to look at “the entire ballot” when making their decisions.
This rhetoric is a reminder of another civil war within the Democratic Party over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Just this week, Muslim activists launched the ‘Give Up Biden’ campaign in nine states to boycott Biden’s re-election.
“Because I lost [Biden], it signals to the entire political environment that defending genocide can lead to defeat, so be careful,” said campaign organizer Abdel Salam. “That’s my goal: to promote this message across the country and be consistent.”
