Rashida Tlaib Caught On Video - Fox News Reporter Assaulted

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

And you guys know, Rashida Tlaib, the Squad, they keep getting in trouble

But this time, I mean, you know, if somebody wants to be a jerk, could bring criminal charges

Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they help our channel continue to grow

Now, there's a reason I didn't say she could face criminal charges in the headline of this video

And there's a reason I'm going to tell you right away that I don't think that's going to happen

I don't think that charges are going to be pressed. What I'm saying to you is they could be

Because you can't just do whatever you want because you're a congressperson, or you work for a congressperson

You can't actually assault people. You don't want to answer their questions? Fine

Walk away from them. Congress people do it all the time. Senators, presidents do it all the time

But you can't assault them. And so what happened here with Rashida Tlaib is one of her staffers gets a little too overzealous

And while she's being approached by a Fox News reporter, and he's hitting her with questions

he's hitting her with questions about Netanyahu possibly coming to visit and make an address to Congress

He was invited by Speaker Mike Johnson. I think it's a great idea because, hey, look, I support Israel

Huge Israel supporter. And I think that we are doing the right thing by providing them weapons and funds to fight the terrorists over there

so the terrorists don't come here. Totally in support. But, you know, listen

We want to hear your plans, right? We're giving you all this money. We'd like to hear your plans

Zelensky came and he spoke to Congress. Netanyahu should do the same

I believe he's willing to do the same. Doesn't seem to be an issue with it except for the squad members and people like them

Who are just really anti-Israel. They're really anti... I'm going to say anti-Israel

I want to say anti-Semites, but I'm not going to cast that aspersion. You can judge that for yourselves

I believe they're anti-Semitic. You guys, again, I'm not going to judge for you

You decide on your own. But I think it's more than just Israel to them

Because they don't have a problem giving money to Ukraine. They just have a problem giving money to Israel

So you have to ask yourself, what's the difference? Now, Mike Johnson wants Netanyahu to come

The squad obviously does not want him to come. Because God forbid you hear a viewpoint that's not your own, you might melt

And so the guy who's with her, he gets a little overzealous and actually assaults a Fox News reporter

The Fox News reporter says to him, we got that on video, that's assault. That's a direct quote

Don't think they're going to press charges on it. But I want you to watch it and then let me know if you would press charges

Let's take a look at the video. Well, sometimes it can get dangerous in the business of covering politics

Today our Fox Capitol Hill crew had to fight off an umbrella being used by a congressional staffer to obstruct an attempted interview

Quite something you don't see every day. Senior congressional correspondent Chad Bergram shows us tonight

Umbrella gate already. Good evening, Chad. Brett, good evening. Progressives oppose a possible invitation for Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress

A sunny day in D.C. But an aide walking with squad member Rashida Tlaib deployed an umbrella to block the sunlight of questions

What happens if Netanyahu comes to speak? Mr. Tlaib, what happens if Netanyahu comes to speak

Is that a mistake by the speaker to extend this request? What do you think if the Democratic leaders agree to that request as well

Would you attend? Would you protest in any form? I don't know

Inviting a war criminal to Congress is a sham. It's shameful. Say that again

We got blocked. Say that again, please. We have it on video, guys
