She rallies her Islamic Marxist crew to defy Biden. It is a token defiance though.
Just the Facts:
- Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is actively encouraging Democrats in Dearborn, Michigan, to vote against President Joe Biden in the state’s Democratic primary. As if that matters, as he already has a lock on the nomination
- Tlaib’s call to action was made through a new video posted on social media, advocating for voters to select “uncommitted” in the primary instead of supporting Biden. The true goal is to influence Biden to abandon Israel faster than he already is.
- The campaign to vote “uncommitted” is backed by the group “Listen to Michigan,” which shared Tlaib’s video on their X account.
- Tlaib’s dissatisfaction stems from the Biden administration’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, pushing for a voting bloc against support for wars.
- She emphasizes the importance of making marginalized voices heard and criticizes the current administration for neglecting certain communities.
- Tlaib has been vocal about her opposition to the administration’s stance on the conflict, demanding a cease-fire in Gaza on several occasions.
- She faced censure in the House for her remarks about the war, including the use of a controversial phrase associated with calls for the elimination of Israel.
- Michigan, a key state that Biden won by a narrow margin in 2020, is seen as vital for his potential re-election.
- The Michigan Democratic Party, through Chair Lavora Barnes, reaffirmed its support for Biden despite Tlaib’s campaign.
- Biden’s administration has faced criticism from Muslim and Arab American leaders in Michigan, particularly due to the state’s significant Arab American demographic in Dearborn.
- Despite the criticisms, the White House has engaged with community leaders in Michigan, and Biden visited the state to meet with autoworkers.
- Our Revolution, a progressive (Marxist) group, joined Tlaib in urging Michigan Democrats to vote “uncommitted,” although it plans to support Biden in the November election.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib is actively supporting a pro-Palestinian initiative urging Michigan Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in the upcoming primary election rather than supporting President Joe Biden. This movement, led by Listen to Michigan, aims to protest Biden’s stance on Israel’s conflict with Hamas in Gaza.
Michigan Senator Rashida Talib is Urging All Voters to Reject Joe Biden in an upcoming Democratic primary. Right now we feel completely neglected & just unseen by our government come & vote uncommitted. Enough is Enough Talib said. We dont want a Country that supports wars, bombs – Brian R. McCaughrin
In a video posted on Saturday, Tlaib, the first and only Palestinian-American in Congress, expressed the need for visibility and recognition for the Palestinian-American community. She urged Michigan voters to cast their ballots as ‘uncommitted’ as a means to amplify their voices and draw attention to their concerns.
Tlaib, a progressive member of the squad, is a prominent critic of both Israel and President Biden for their support of the Jewish State. She officially endorsed the Listen to Michigan campaign, advocating for ‘uncommitted’ votes to surpass those for Biden in the upcoming primary on February 27.

‘Biden has a problem: “Detroit U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib is endorsing the campaign urging Michigan Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in the Feb. 27 presidential primary in protest of President Joe Biden’s policy in Gaza. Tlaib, a three-term congresswoman, is the first member of Congress in Michigan and the highest-profile official to date to get behind the Listen to Michigan campaign, which aims to pressure Biden into overhauling his approach to the war between Israel and Hamas. Listen to Michigan’s campaign manager is Tlaib’s younger sister, Layla Elabed, who said volunteers for the effort made 150,000 phone calls in its first week. They also planned phone banks through the weekend in Dearborn and a 3 p.m. rally Tuesday at the University of Michigan’s campus in Ann Arbor. The campaign also announced its first ad buy Friday, which was described as six figures for a mailer distributed in the Metro Detroit region and a digital ad on YouTube. Thirty-two state and local officials, including state lawmakers, have pledged to vote “uncommitted” on Democratic primary ballots, as well as former U.S. Rep. Andy Levin of Bloomfield Township. Richard Czuba, a pollster with the Lansing-based Glengariff Group, said an uncommitted vote of 20% would register as dissenters ‘showing up’ to protest Biden and anything 30% or higher would signal to the president that he’s got major problems with his base. The Detroit DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) also endorsed the Listen To Michigan campaign recently.” – Prodigal
While Biden faces little competition in the Democratic primary, progressive forces in Michigan are mobilizing to register a symbolic vote of no confidence by choosing ‘uncommitted’ over the incumbent president. Though this gesture may not significantly impact the primary results or Biden’s nomination chances, it serves as a powerful statement against his handling of the ongoing Middle East conflict.
In a video outside the Ford Civic Center in Dearborn, Michigan, Tlaib emphasized the importance of early voting until February 17. She highlighted the significance of not only protesting against genocide and engaging with elected officials but also creating a voting bloc to unequivocally express discontent.

Tlaib stressed the desire for a nation that prioritizes life over wars and destruction, emphasizing the need to stand up for every life lost. The context of her remarks included a deadly attack launched by Hamas terrorists in Israel in October, leading to a prolonged conflict between the Palestinian de facto government and the Jewish State.
President Biden, aligning with the majority of voices in America and Congress, has supported Israel’s right to defend itself against the terrorist group Hamas. However, Tlaib and other progressive lawmakers argue against this stance, contending that Israel’s response to the attack amounts to a genocide against Palestinians.

To Sum up the lunacy: the upcoming Michigan primary reflects a broader effort by progressives, led by Tlaib, to register a symbolic protest against President Biden’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The ‘uncommitted’ vote serves as a platform for expressing dissatisfaction and drawing attention to the concerns of the Palestinian-American community. Let’s face reality though. This is all posturing to pressure Biden to end support for Israel faster than he is already doing. These Democrats and Marxists will ALL be voting for Biden come November.
