Michigan AG Nessel Accuses Rep. Tlaib of Antisemitism Over Protest Charges

Tensions rise as Nessel and Tlaib clash over charges against pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Michigan.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has accused Rep. Rashida Tlaib of antisemitism following charges against 11 pro-Palestinian protesters.
Nessel's office charged the protesters with violent and criminal behavior, including obstructing police and trespassing.
Tlaib suggested that Nessel's decision was influenced by biases, which Nessel interpreted as a reference to her Jewish identity.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer declined to take a definitive stance on the matter, emphasizing the need to protect and respect all communities.
The controversy highlights existing tensions within the Michigan Democratic Party as they approach a critical election period.
