Overview

• At the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Rep. Rashida Tlaib told “genocide enablers” to “look at this room, motherf*ckers,” declaring, “we ain’t going anywhere.”
• She accused the U.S. of enabling a “genocide” in Gaza, described Washington as “the decaying halls of the empire,” and urged activism outside Congress.
• The Anti-Defamation League condemned the event, saying it “promoted antisemitic tropes, glorified terror & violence and called for Israel’s destruction,” and noted Tlaib’s participation.
• Rep. Buddy Carter introduced a House censure resolution against Tlaib, alleging she “celebrated terrorism” and linking her appearance to extremist rhetoric voiced at the conference.
• Other speakers labeled the U.S. “evil,” called to “globalize the intifada,” and urged leaders be “locked up” or “neutralized,” while a former Biden aide criticized Tlaib for prioritizing activism over district issues.
