Rashida Tlaib

Rank 2 of 47

Score 222

It’s disgusting that my colleagues would support legislation to prohibit U.S. officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll.

They want to erase the Palestinians who are living, and now they are trying to erase the Palestinians who are dead. This is genocide denial.
