Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI ) suggested that people vote against President Joe Biden during the upcoming 2024 presidential election due to his handling of the ongoing war in Gaza and for his support of Israel.
During a conversation on Saturday at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, Tlaib slammed Biden for saying Israel’s battle with Hamas in Gaza is “not murder. ” “ What’s happening is not genocide, ” Biden said during a Jewish American Heritage Month event on May 20. Biden’s comments came after the International Criminal Court issued a statement that they were seeking imprisonment permits for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with several Hamas officials.

During her statement, Tlaib commented that voters were “not gonna neglect in November, ” referencing the presidential election.
“ I don’t need to tell you that you’re on the right side, ” Tlaib told the audience. “ I don’t have to. But, I’ll been damned if I wait ten times before they apologize to all of you for doing what was right at this moment. ”
Tlaib continued to slam the United States government for sending “billions of dollars ” each year to Israel, which she described as having an “apartheid government. ”
Earlier now, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was a” wonder guest” at the Women’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan.

The Michigan lawmaker added that “it is shameful that the Biden presidency and my coworkers in Congress continue to slander them for protesting to save life, no matter trust or race. ”
Tlaib’s opinion was aimed at Biden and the politicians who called out the anti-Israel demonstrations and outposts that took over college and university campuses in April and May.

“It is cowardly, ” Tlaib added. “But, we’re never gonna forget in November, are we? The International Court of Justice merely ruled that the Israeli government may stop its invasion of Rafah. But, President Biden says what’s happening in Gaza is not a murder. Where’s your dark column, President Biden? ”
This is not the first day Tlaib has encouraged voters to vote against Biden. In February, she encouraged voters in Michigan to vote “uncommitted ” in the state’s primary election, according to NBC News.
Tlaib has also previously declined to say if she would vote for Biden, while encouraging voters to look at the “whole ballot, ” according to Politico.
