Tlaib vs. Biden

There is another critical element at work in this crisis. Joe Biden is increasingly ratcheting up the pressure on Israel to back down because he is facing increasing pressure from the left’s growing Muslim and young progressive base.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is browbeating Biden into submission. The congresswoman from Dearborn has endorsed an effort to embarrass Joe Biden by encouraging Michigan residents to “vote uncommitted” in the state’s upcoming primary.

The Biden campaign knows it has a big problem. His campaign manager recently tried to meet with Muslim leaders in Michigan. They refused to meet with her.

So, the White House dispatched top policy aides to meet with them. It didn’t go well. Some Muslim leaders still refused to attend the meeting.

It is important to understand just how radical Tlaib and her supporters are. She has openly worked with Hamas operatives in the United States. Her anti-Semitism has repeatedly caused controversy. And in the immediate aftermath of the October 7th massacre by Hamas, Tlaib refused to condemn the vicious murders.

In fact, she did it again just last week. The House of Representatives unanimously supported a resolution condemning the sexual terrorism committed by Hamas. But Tlaib refused to support the resolution. She voted “present.”

So, now it seems that Joe Biden is increasingly willing to sacrifice the people of Israel to appease his left-wing base. By the way, no other progressive would be handling this any differently. I have been warning for years about the growing anti-Semitism of the progressive left.
