Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) hit back at people trying to "silence" her as she faces multiple censures in Congress for her comments on the war in Gaza.
Tlaib has found herself the target of intense bipartisan criticism over the past month over her response to the war in Gaza, which reached a fever pitch when she refused to backtrack statements about a blast at a Gaza hospital that was prematurely blamed on the Israeli air force. In a statement on Tuesday, Tlaib bashed her colleagues for "distorting" her position on the conflict and accused them of not valuing the lives of Palestinians.
