“The reality is that the Biden admin’s unconditional support for genocide is what got us here,” she wrote on X.
Breaking ranks with fellow progressives in the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) chose not to urge voters to support Vice President Kamala Harris on Nov. 5, Election Day.
Tlaib spoke at a United Auto Workers union rally on Nov. 1 on the lawn of Solidarity House in Detroit. She told the audience: “Don’t underestimate the power you all have.” She added that “you all have more power to turn out people that understand we’ve got to fight back against corporate greed in our country.”
She remains the only member of the far-left congressional “Squad” not to support the Democratic Party’s nominee.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) also spoke at the rally, saying: “This is the place that is going to deliver a Kamala Harris presidency—right here in the state of Michigan.”
Before her speech, Tlaib posted on X that “Trump is a proud Islamophobe and serial liar who doesn't stand for peace. The reality is that the Biden admin’s unconditional support for genocide is what got us here. This should be a wake-up call for those who continue to support genocide. This election didn't have to be close.”
