Rashida Tlaib Says It Was Racist Of The DNC Not To Have A Palestinian Speaker

Posted • August 25, 2024: Back during the primaries, Kamala Harris didn't win a single vote, but a lot of people upset with "Genocide Joe Biden" wrote in "Uncommitted," hoping to send a message that he'd better change policy on the war in Gaza or risk voters staying home. There's something called the Uncommitted National Movement, and they held a sit-in outside the Democratic National Convention demanding that they have a Palestinian American speaker.

Nothing? Then maybe the problem isn’t the DNC. CNN asked Abbas Alawieh if he thought it was discriminatory of the DNC to exclude Palestinian American Democrats. -- CNN asks Uncommitted National Movement co-founder Abbas Alawieh and GA State Representative Rep. Ruwa Romman if they feel the DNC’s action to exclude a Palestinian American from the stage was discriminatory. -- Discriminatory? It was downright racist, says Rep. Rashida Tlaib. -- Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib: “You mean racist.” https://x.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1827382401900933132 -- The Flag Guy @TheFlagGuy_ Replying to @RashidaTlaib: “You’re the most disgusting racist in Congress.” -- Palestinine is a race now? Get a new schtick. (…)
