A conservative activist questions why two radical Islamists are members of Congress if they hate our country so much.

Recently, Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took part in a "People's Conference for Palestine" in Detroit where she spewed anti-Israel and anti-American vitriol.

Tlaib declared Gaza serves as the guiding moral and political direction for activists in the U.S., positioning it as a central inspiration for the movement, according to The Daily Caller.

As she cursed Israel’s leaders, she accused those supporting Israel’s actions of being morally complicit and fearful of growing momentum in Congress.

Tlaib charged both Israel and the U.S. with starving children in Gaza and employing force to “kill and torture and kidnap” globally.

"Now we're in Congress and we're every corner of the United States. They just don't get it. They will never truly comprehend the Jamaat even after seven decades that we are going anywhere. We are just getting started,” Tlaib said.

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia) in response introduced a House censure resolution, accusing Tlaib of “celebrating terrorism” and endangering Jewish lives.

"I saw the clip of Rashida Tlaib of Michigan ranting over Israel, and really she included the United States in it. She's saying the United States is complicit in genocide in Gaza and went on and on. Ranting about how bad America is and I thought gee what are you doing in Congress if you hate this country so much?"

Knight told AFN this is similar to rants from another Islamic Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar from Minnesota.

“(Omar) is a proud Somali immigrant and has said similar things about America and how she's representing Somalia in the US Congress. And I just wonder if Americans want something done about this. There ought to be a mighty effort to oppose them in their next election, which is coming up in 2026."
