@PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019 Rashida Tlaib is Palestinian. Presumably her sister is, too. If she protested or "heckled" or whatever after meeting with Harris she probably had a pretty fucking good reason. This isn't about which little clique of politicians is the cool crowd in DC, this is about a genocide
@sofiav A farL group had already met w/ Kamala & her staff before the rally & been promised an in-depth meeting. This was a stunt. Dems who might have been supportive saw it for the standard #farL let’s damage Dems BS they’ve been pulling since Ru propagandized them. Trying to damage the only hope Gaza has by disrupting the rally of the person best positioned to CONTINUE to try & stop the bloodshed in the Middle East is not negotiating, its extortion. @PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019

⬆️ >> Rashida #Tlaib is #Palestinian

#FFS, she is a #US citizen and a #MemberOfCongress

Tlaib is puting the interests of #Palestine ahead of the interests of the country she took an oath to serve. That's not even in dispute.

US #Election2024 is about US FIRST, not #Israel, not #Palestine

@rameshgupta @Pineywoozle @PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019 we're not talking about Rashida Tlaib, we're talking about her sister! And "America First" is a literal fascist slogan (going back LONG before Trump adopted it).

>> we're not talking about Rashida #Tlaib, we're talking about her sister!

We were, until YOU mentioned Tlaib is #Palestinian. I quoted your exact words in my response. Did you read the other branch that I pointed to in this thread?

>> And "America First" is a literal fascist slogan (going back LONG before #Trump adopted it)

Nobody here brought up that #fascist slogan from last century. Only you brought up #AmericaFirst slogan.

@Pineywoozle @PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019

@rameshgupta @Pineywoozle @PamelaBarroway @Stybba3019 I didn't know who her sister was off the top of my head, I was just pointing out that if they're siblings they prob share an ethnicity. Which, in fact, they do!

You used the phrase "US first". That's no different than "America first"

Anyway, the more I read about the ppl involved in this protest the more I realize they're mostly of Arab descent & w/ personal stakes in this, which y'all are leaving out to portray them as "far-left hecklers"

Why Rashida Tlaib's sister's pushing for 'uncommitted' over Biden in MI

Age and memory aren't the only issues facing Biden: parts of the Democratic base remain angry with him over US support for Israel amid the Gaza war.
