Rashida in August 2018 in her campaign office. |
The district includes the western half of Detroit, along with several of its western suburbs and much of the Downriver area. A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib represented the 6th and 12th districts of the Michigan House of Representatives before her election to Congress. She was the first Muslim woman to serve in the Michigan legislature. She is the first Palestinian-American woman in Congress and though a little older than Ilhan Omar (D-MN), one of the first two Democrat Muslim women elected to Congress.
She made news since it was just a few hours after becoming a Senator and attending a MoveOn Org. that she swore using crude language while speaking to her 13 year old son about getting rid of Trump. "And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t,’ because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the motherf-----.” She vowed that the Democratic controlled House would impeach him.
She and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are the 1st two Democratic Socialists of America to serve in our Congress, though Ilhan Omar is also a Socialist, too, so all 3 are Socialist Muslims and anti-Semites. Tlaib is also against anything out of the Trump Administration and has advocated impeachment.
She criticizes Israel's government so much that she has called for an end to the US aid to Israel and expressed support for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanction campaign) against Israel, and wants pressure on Israel to withdraw from the Judea-Samarian "settlements." "Tlaib has said she opposed providing aid to a "Netanyahu Israel" and supported the Palestinian right of return and a one-state solution. Tlaib is one of the few members of Congress who openly support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, and is joined in this with the other newcomer, Ilhan Omar.

Thanks to Joan Swirsky: Tlaib: those who supported the bill against the Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) movement—which seeks to strangle Israel economically—were torn by their “dual loyalty” to both Israel and the United States, and the bill’s supporters “forgot what country they represent.” And she supportsa global economic, academic and cultural boycott against Israel.
