Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) refused to condemn the massacre of Israeli children at the hands of Hamas terrorists when confronted Tuesday by a reporter from Fox News, new footage shows.
Tlaib, who has regularly sided with Palestine over Israel for several years while serving as a U.S. representative, drew backlash from both Republicans and Democrats after remaining silent when questioned about the slaughter by Fox Business journalist Hillary Vaughn. For over a minute, Vaughn followed the congresswoman and her staff through the Capitol, peppering her with questions about the murders. However, Tlaib remained silent, instead fleeing to a private area to get away from the persistent reporter. At one point, Vaughn asked, "Congresswoman, Hamas terrorists have cut off babies' heads and burned children alive. Do you support Israel's rights to defend themselves against this brutality?" Again, she received no response. WATCH:
The video, which was uploaded to X, quickly went viral. As of this writing, the clip has been viewed over 5 million times. Tlaib, a far-left member of the House's progressive "Squad," was further pressed about Hamas's tactics and whether or not the Palestinian flag that sits outside her congressional office is a sign of support for the terrorists. Vaughn asked: "You have nothing to say about Hamas terrorists chopping off babies’ heads? Do you condone what Hamas has done chopping off babies’ heads, burning children alive, raping women in the streets? You have no comment about children’s heads being chopped off?"
Vaughn's questions for Tlaib were in reference to new information released by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which revealed that at least 40 Israeli babies were slaughtered in Kfar Aza, Israel, during the initial Hamas attacks on Saturday. The corpses were found by troops trying to clear the area. A portion of the bodies had been beheaded.

On Saturday, Hamas terrorists, with the backing of Iran, launched a series of unexpected attacks on Israel, killing over 1,200 people and taking dozens more hostage. At least 22 Americans were murdered in the attacks. Shortly after the attacks, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held an "All-Out for Palestine" rally supporting Hamas in New York City, drawing criticism and backlash from all parties. However, some congressional members of the DSA, including Tlaib, have remained silent about the rally. Have comments? Share them below. Recently, The Informed Youth announced our Insiders initiative.
