GOP lawmaker says Tlaib should be ‘run out of town’ over ‘genocide’ sign

Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) said Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) should be “run out of town” over a sign that she held up during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Wednesday.

“She’s incorrigible & should be censored… & ‘run out of town’…” Weber said in a post on the social platform X.

Tlaib, who has often heavily criticized Netanyahu and the Israeli government amid the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, held up a sign that said both “war criminal” and “guilty of genocide.”

Other Republican lawmakers went after Tlaib for the sign as well, including Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), who captioned a picture of Tlaib with the sign on X with “Iran’s useful idiot.”

Tlaib said in a Tuesday statement that it is “utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress.”
