Reining in Radical Rashida Tlaib
(00:00.998)
So Representative Rashida Talib was censured by the House yesterday. This is after posting a video on X claiming that President Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people. The clip also shows pro-Palestinian protesters chanting from the river to the sea, which is a refrain that some feel that, okay, listen, we need to.
ethnically cleanse Israel of Jews. Talab described it as an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. Like I said, Jews interpreted as kill all the Jews. Again, it was a vote of 234 to 188 for abstaining. 22 Democrats joined Republicans.
Four Republicans voted against it. Kam Bucke, Dorade Massey, McClintock, four voted present. The three aspects of Taleb’s rhetoric, her use the word resistance in her statement on the Hamas attacks, which she argued that the suffocating dehumanizing conditions in the Palestinian territories could lead to resistance, her claim that Israel bombed the hospital in Gaza, and her use of the slogan from the river
to the sea. Talib argued that she’s, the people trying to censor her and dehumanize Palestinians. Now what I think, it’s a collective waste of my tax dollars. Sorry, but can anybody out there explain to me what’s the point behind this? So she has been censored. What exactly does that mean?
Is this, again, Dean Wormer’s double secret probation there for the Delta House at Wormer College from Animal House, I think carries more weight than this century. Well, it’s only happened a certain amount of times. Who gives a what? Is it going to change anybody’s mind on the topic? Is it going to keep her silent? Do you want to keep her silent? Again, I’m in the free speech business, my friends.

I want politicians to say what they think. Again, you can see them for what they are. And I might not agree with Talib and her assessment of the things that she’s saying, but I’m sorry, people. I’m gonna stand up for her right to say it. I am, that’s just the reality. I’m not gonna censor her for saying what she feels.
Again, she obviously has a constituency there in the United States that put her in office. Now, if they feel differently after what she has said, they can vote her out. And quite frankly, it’s none of my damn business. I don’t live in her district. Watchdog on wallstreet.com
