Tlaib displayed two signs during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday.
Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib sent a clear message during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address on Wednesday.
Netanyahu arrived in Washington, D.C., and delivered a highly-anticipated speech to Congress on Wednesday. Several Democrats had voiced their opposition to Netanyahu’s arrival by declaring they wouldn’t attend his address. Tlaib took a different approach to protest the Israeli leader.
The Michigan lawmaker drew attention during the address when she raised signs reading “war criminal” and “guilty of genocide” throughout the speech, Newsweek reporter Alex Rouhandeh noted on X, formerly Twitter.
