In a protest move, Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian-American Democratic representative from Michigan, during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress.
Particularly, he held a sign that said “war criminal” on one side and “guilty of genocide” on the other.
House Speaker Mike Johnson warned against protests during Netanyahu’s speech, threatening arrests and saying there would be an increased police presence. Tlaib was approached by a clerk at least twice during Netanyahu’s speech and removed her sign each time.
