Article snippet: Earlier this year, while giving a speech at Marygrove College in Detroit, Tlaib claimed she is “more Palestinian in the halls of Congress than I am anywhere in the country, in the world.” “Honestly I’ve never felt more Palestinian than I ever felt in Congress,” Tlaib said as she addressed the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights. Tlaib added: Last August, after her primary win in Michigan, Tlaib spoke with HuffPost and asserted she was going to “humanize” and “be a voice for” Palestinians. She also stated her West Bank roots are “still very strong.” HuffPost reported: As reported Sunday by Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle, “A video of then-former-State Rep. Rashida Tlaib being forcibly ejected from a speech then-candidate now-President Donald Trump gave to the Detroit Economic Club has resurfaced in the wake of President Trump’s feud with the “Squad,” of which she is a leading member.” During a speech at a One Fair Wage event on Sunday, Tlaib called for a $20 minimum wage, a split from her progressive colleaques who frequently demand $15 per hour. “It should be $20 an hour, $18 to $20 at this point,” Tlaib said in reference to the minimum wage.
