ASU Cancels Event Featuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib
The decision follows a letter from Arizona lawmakers condemning Tlaib's views and a recent censure by the U.S. House of Representatives.
- Arizona State University (ASU) cancelled an event featuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib due to procedural issues.
- The event was organized by the Arizona Palestine Network, a group not affiliated with ASU.
- Tlaib was scheduled to speak at the event titled 'Palestine is an American Issue'.
- The cancellation followed a letter from a bipartisan group of Arizona lawmakers stating Tlaib's 'extremist, antisemitic views' were not welcome in the state.
- Tlaib was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives earlier this month for defending Hamas and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.
