Terrorist Lover Rashida Tlaib Just Got Embarrassed on the House Floor

Democratic leaders were willing to use that vote against Trump

The timing made it worse for Tlaib. The day before, House Democrats had successfully passed a war powers resolution on Iran with help from four Republicans. Democratic leaders were willing to use that vote against Trump.

They were not willing to follow Tlaib the next day into a resolution on Lebanon that never named Hezbollah, that their own members said could endanger embassy personnel, and that invoked war powers in a country where, by their own admission, the United States is not at war.

Jeffries, Clark, and Aguilar called Hezbollah a sworn enemy of the United States Tlaib’s resolution did not call them anything at all. That contrast is what 117 Democrats were voting on when they sided with Republicans to kill it.
