Forbes has posted video of multiple Democratic lawmakers being asked about the Palestinian flag that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) displays outside of her congressional office, and not one offered a word of criticism.

“She’s a great friend of mine,”  Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) replied when asked about her feelings regarding the Palestinian flag Talib continues to display outside her office.

“She’s a grown woman,”  Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) responded.

“She has every right to have that Palestinian flag,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) said.

Tlaib also has the right to be criticized for continuing to display it at this time, but a critical voice likely won’t come from the left.

Tlaib couldn’t even be critical of Hamas in her reaction to the past weekends terrorist actions.

“I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity,” Tlaib said.

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) has been critical of Tlaib's Palestinian flag.

 

"The halls of Congress belong to America," Miller posted on X. "They should be reserved for flags that embody our great nation. The Palestinian flag should not have a place here. That’s why I sponsored an appropriations amendment to end this silliness."
