Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MN), the defacto Leader of the Democrats’ unofficial “pro-Palestine” Hamas Caucus, protested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress on Wednesday.
During Bibi’s address, she wore a gloomy expression along with her post-October 7 ever-present keffiyeh (a traditional Palestinian scarf) and held up a sign that read “War Criminal” on one side and “Guilty of Genocide” on the other.

That Rashida Tlaib is such a charmer!
She probably wasn’t a fan of the section of the speech where Bibi calls the pro-Palestinian protesters “Iran’s useful idiots.”
NETANYAHU: “I have a message for these [anti-Israeli] protestors.”

As he noted in the above clip, a bunch of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered to oppose the speech. While they were at it, they decided to pull down and burn American flags, replace them with Palestinian flags, vandalize statues, and … *checks notes* … sport merch from a terrorist organization.

These are Tlaib’s people.
We have seen time and again over the years that Hamas enjoys robust support in both Gaza and the West Bank.
The internet had a whole lot of fun with Tlaib’s petulant little stunt.

Rashida Tlaib is a far-left anti-Israel activist who has no shame standing with the Hamas apologists denouncing Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorist attacks and constant aggression.
Today, she beclowned herself with her weird ping-pong paddle protest.
In case you missed it and need a palate cleanser after looking at Tlaib’s surly mug in post after post, you can watch PM Netanyahu’s full speech here:
