Rashida Tlaib dubbed ‘traitor’ as Leo Terrell slams ‘Squad’ Rep for refusing to apologize after blaming Israel for Gaza hospital blast

Fox News contributor took to X to call Rashida Tlaib out and labeled Democrats 'antisemitic'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On Wednesday, 'The Squad' member Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib from Michigan declined to issue an apology for her previous statement in which she asserted that Israel was responsible for the hospital explosion in Gaza on the previous day.

This is in spite of evidence provided by the US Defense Department, suggesting that the explosion was more likely caused by an accidental projectile from the militant group Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Following this event, Fox News contributor Leo Terrell took to X (formerly Twitter) and took a brutal jab at Tlaib, calling her out and labeling her a “liar” for refusing to apologize after blaming Israel for the recent Gaza hospital blast.

Moreover, the internet backed Terrell and lashed out at Tlaib as several demanded she be “thrown out” of Congress.

Leo Terrell slams ‘Squad’ Rep Rashida Tlaib for refusing to apologize

Leo Terrell took to X to write, “She is a liar, however, she will get re-elected by antisemitic Democrats. Shameful. Tlaib refuses to apologize for blaming Israel for Gaza hospital blast, attacks Biden - ABC News.”

Terrell's tweet featured an article from ABC News which stated that the ‘Squad’ Democrat has declined to give an apology for blaming Israel for the hospital attack in Gaza, which left hundreds dead.

However, claims and supporting evidence have emerged indicating that the Gaza hospital explosion was probably the result of a misfired rocket from Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as reported by two US officials to ABC News. Nevertheless, a definitive conclusion regarding what transpired has yet to be reached.

Moreover, Tlaib attacked President Joe Biden on Wednesday during the protest for his support for Israel since the Hamas terrorist attack.

She said, “To my president, to our president ... I want him to know, as a Palestinian American and somebody in Muslim faith, I'm not going to forget this. And I think a lot of people are not going to forget this.”

"President Biden, not all Americans are with you on this one and you need to understand that. We are literally watching people commit genocide and killing the vast majority just like this, and we still stand by and say nothing. We will remember this,” she further added.

Internet dubs Rashida Tlaib a ‘traitor’

Soon after Leo Terrell took to X to slam Rashida Tlaib for refusing to apologize, the internet also took a brutal jab at the Democrat as one claimed, “She's a TRAITOR!!!!”

One more slammed Tlaib, adding, “Gross she is a gross human,” and another wrote, “The word apologize is not in her vocabulary!”

A person simply said, “Re-elected?  She should not be allowed to hold office after today,” while another had a more extreme opinion, and declared, “She needs to be deported.”

Another said, “Vote her out! Why is she in America??? Go some place else.”
