President Joe Biden took a moment out of his speech at a Michigan auto plant on Tuesday to openly praise Rep Rashida Tlaib’s (D-MI) “passion,” adding that he commits to ensuring her Palestinian family’s safety amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Gaza
Tlaib—the only Palestinian-American member of Congress—has been highly critical of Biden’s stance on the growing violence between Israelis and Palestinians, recently accusing him of “taking orders” from Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu
“I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people,” Biden said at the Dearborn Ford plant “And it’s my from my heart, I pray that your grandmom and family are well—I promise I’m going to do everything to see that they are in the West Bank You’re a fighter, and God thank you for being a fighter”
