Rashid Tlaib clashed with a Fox Business reporter on Thursday after being asked to condemn chants of “death to America” at a rally in her district.
The Michigan Democrat reacted by saying “I don’t talk to Fox News,” and accused the network of using “racist tropes” and being “Islamophobic.”
Tlaib was approached by Hillary Vaughn as she walked down a corridor in the Capitol Hill complex, with the exchange lasting around 50 seconds.
On April 5, demonstrators at a rally in Dearborn, Michigan, chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel,” according to a report by The New York Post.
