Rep. Hillary Vaughn, a former Fox Business Reporter, and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI ) argued over a question about a rally where anti-Israel protesters chanted” Death to America” and demanded that Israel be eradicated.
The protest in issue, which took place in Dearborn, Michigan, featured a listener named Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute. He said: “We have been asked in the past why our demonstrations on the International Al-Quds Day are thus anti-America. Why do n’t we just concentrate on Israel and ignore America altogether? Gaza has demonstrated to the entire world why their demonstrations are thus anti-America. Because the US government is the source of funding for all the crimes we only learned on. ”
Guests at the march responded to him by shouting, “Death to America! ” and “Death to Israel! ”
In a doorway on Capitol Hill, Vaughn repeatedly questioned Tlaib about her response to the slogans. At first, the Michigan Congresswoman said she would n’t talk to people from Fox.

Before she could also start asking the question, Congresswoman Tlaib began as Vaughn began.
“ I don’t speak to Fox News! I don’t speak to Fox News! ” she insisted.
“At a rally … in your district — ” Vaughn tried again, but Tlaib pushed back.
“I’m never talking to Fox News. , ” she said suddenly.
“People were chanting ‘death to America. ’ Do you criticize? ” Vaughn asked.
“ I do not speak to Fox News, ” Tlaib repeated.
Do you, however, denounce American chants of dying? ” Vaughn asked after more.
“ I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes, ” Tlaib said then, suggesting that Vaughn’s network was guilty of that.
Vaughn pressed again, asking, “ Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn — ”
But Tlaib interrupted her once, saying, “Because I don’t talk to Fox News. ”
“ — people chanting ‘death to America? ‘ ” Vaughn completed her thought, then asked, “ Why are you afraid to talk to Fox? ”

“Fox News is not good, ” Tlaib claimed. Listen, Fox News is about using racist tropes against my community, and I do n’t speak to Fox News. ”
Vaughn tried one more move, noting that some might see the “death to America ” slogans as sexist.
“Is ‘death to America ’ racist? ” Is chanting ‘death to America ’ racist? ” she asked.
“Never speak to Fox News, ” Tlaib said suddenly, adding, “I’m talking about your guys’s prejudiced themes. You guys are aware of this; you guys are aware of what you do. And I know you’re Antisemitic, but you men gotta come deal with it on your own self, not going to employ me. ”
