The Michigan Democrat, who is of Palestinian descent, has been criticized, in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel, for displaying the flag outside her office.
A House Republican is demanding that foreign flags be banned from the halls of Congress while criticizing Michigan Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for having a Palestinian one hanging outside her Washington D.C. office.
GOP Ohio congressman Max Miller introduced a measure on Monday to “end this silliness” and ban any flag that is not that of the United States, one if its territories, or the POW/MIA flag, from being displayed in the Capitol building,
Miller discussed his amendment on X, formerly Twitter, while sharing a post from Reese Gorman, a reporter from conservative news site the Washington Examiner. Gorman posted a picture of the office of Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, with the flag outside, in the wake of the Islamist militant group Hamas’ large-scale attack on Israel which has left nearly 1,600 dead on both sides, according to the Associated Press.
