On Tuesday evening, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a radical Democrat member of the 'Squad,' refused to denounce Hamas after the terrorist group carried out the deadliest terrorist attack in Israel's history that led to the murder of over 1,200 Israelis and at least 22 American citizens.
"I asked Rep. Rashida Tlaib about Hamas terrorists chopping off babies heads, children being burned alive, and women being raped - she had nothing to say," Fox News reporter Hillary Vaughn wrote on X/Twitter with a video attached.
In the video, Vaugn asked whether Tlaib supports Israel's right to defend itself and if she had any comment about Hamas' atrocities in southern Israel over the weekend. The reporter asked Tlaib, who has a Palestinian flag outside her office, 10 times whether she would provide a comment about the heinous war crimes.

Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, has routinely spoken out against Israel, notably joining other members of the progressive 'Squad' in boycotting the Israeli president's joint address to Congress earlier this year.
The congresswoman issued a statement following the attack on Israel over the weekend in which she condemned Israel's actions and called the state an "apartheid state."
"I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day," she said in a statement on Sunday. "I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear, and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity."
"The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance," Tlaib continued. "The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere, should have to suffer or live in fear of violence."

As reported by the Washington Examiner, former Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed the various Democrat lawmakers who have decided to defend Hamas rather than standing with Israel.
“Allowing the elected members of this body to speak antisemitism and not condemn it is wrong,” he said during a press conference.
Hamas' atrocities have been widely reported and Tlaib's refusal to condemn the terrorist group speaks volumes. In response to her lack of comment, conservatives blasted the Radical Democrat with TPUSA CEO Charlie Kirk writing, "Rashida Tlaib is a Hamas sympathizer, and now she's on tape refusing to condemn the rape and murder of innocent civilians. She has no business being in Congress. She hates America. She hates our culture. She hates our heritage. She should feel free to leave."
