Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) got testy with Fox Business Reporter Hillary Vaughn over a question about a rally in her home district where anti-Israel protesters chanted “Death to America” and called for the eradication of Israel.
The rally in question, which took place in Dearborn, Michigan, featured a speaker named Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute. He said: “We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why don’t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America. Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.”
Attendees at the rally responded to him by shouting, “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”
Vaughn approached Tlaib in a hallway on Capitol Hill, asking several times whether She would respond to the chants. At first, the Michigan Congresswoman said she wouldn’t talk to anyone from Fox.
“Congresswoman Tlaib —” Vaughn began, but Tlaib interrupted before she could even get the question out.
“I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!” she insisted.
