The House floor erupted into chaos Wednesday after Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, accused Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) of having ties to terrorist groups, including Hezbollah. “Hezbollah is a terrorist organization … and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with,” Miller said on the House floor Wednesday evening, referring to Tlaib. “I certainly believe you advocate for them, yes. You advocate for terrorists on a daily basis.”
FOX News The shouting match came during a heated debate over a resolution that would force President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Lebanon. Tlaib, a radical Muslim lawmaker and member of the ‘Jihad Squad,’ argued that the United States should not assist Israel’s war in Lebanon.
Her resolution does not mention Hezbollah, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization in Lebanon and a proxy force of the Iranian regime. Republicans seized on the omission, arguing the measure would aid Hezbollah and that its supporters were acting as the group’s “proxies.”
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., then delivered a statement on Miller’s behalf, saying, “Yes, I said it. I own it, and I stand by it.”
Mast also attempted to enter materials into the record about Tlaib’s alleged association with terrorist groups, but the Michigan Democrat objected. The documents included a Fox News Digital story from 2023 reporting that Tlaib was a member of a private Facebook ‘Palestinian American Congress’ group that glorified Hamas’ Oct. 7th invasion of Israel.

So why is a terrorist (Tlaib) allowed to sit in the Congress if the USA?
