Taking aim at the Trump administration, Tlaib claimed that "what’s been tested on the killing fields of Gaza is already being deployed right here in the streets of America."
"What our government is willing to do to Palestinians, they are willing to do to all of you," she asserted. "It is no surprise to me, as the daughter of Detroit, that I see our government, that has supplied the bombs and excuses Israel from destroying literally every single day hospitals, communities in Gaza, and manufacturing mass starvation, is also the same government that’s defunding healthcare and food assistance programs here in our country."
"Gaza is the compass in this country," said Tlaib.
Tlaib previously came under bipartisan criticism after sharing a video on social media that included the phrase "From the river to the sea," a pro-Palestinian liberation slogan.
