Tlaib silently protests Netanyahu speech with 'War Criminal' sign

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) staged a silent protest during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress, holding a double-sided sign that read “War Criminal” and “Guilty of Genocide” as he delivered his speech.

As Netanyahu entered the House floor for his joint address to Congress, Tlaib remained sitting and did not join in with applause from other lawmakers as he made his way to the stage. The Michigan Democrat remained mostly motionless as Netanyahu gave his address, declining to join in with cheers or applause but instead holding up her sign during remarks.
