Rashida Tlaib calls for hunger strikes to shut down ICE
FoxNews ^ | April 19, 2019

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) urged her supporters to join her in a hunger strike to push for action to "shut down" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing the radical push to abolish ICE can't be achieved by Congress.

Tlaib, headlining a Detroit fundraiser this past weekend for the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, complained of colleagues who are constantly "policing" what she says and lack willingness to embrace bold stands such as abolishing ICE. She called on her activist audience to join her in a hunger strike at the border.

Somebunny feed this bitch a bacon sammich. Naah, why waste good pork ? Terrorist Tlaib should be locked in a room alone and shown what a REAL hunger strike is. We’ll come back and fetch her in 6 months.

If she tells us the where, I can pretty much guarantee a tailgate party. There is something about hamburgers frying, with onions, upwind... It carries, for hundreds of yards...

tell me.

who cares if someone goes on a hunger strike?

Why would it matter?

Let them strike.

If they die it is on their own head.

Trying to manipulate people with a hunger strike is like trying to manipulate them by holding one’s breath.

Please try to show some strength of purpose, give it a year to be sure.

Isn’t there enough dirt on this terrorist to get her impeached or sent to Gitmo along with her triplet Omar and triplet Alexandria Ocasio-Kotex?

How convenient so close to Ramadan!

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) looks like she could lose a little weight herself.

Self-immolation would be a more effective form of protest.

She could use a few pounds anyway.
The rest will be much lighter to pick up.

Sounds like a WIN....

Predictable. She’s here to enable even more anti- American Muslim/ islamonazi invaders getting into America. The vanguard for subversion and conquest —- and we ( or at least Nancy Pelosi) let her sit in our congress!

the only people participating seem to be asylum-seekers. She represents a district, so why isn’t her entire district hungerstriking since she is supposed to be representing their interests? Could it be she’s out of step with her district’s interests? Then who is she really representing? foreigners? We don’t allow foreign representation in our Congress.

Will their hunger strike be like Jesse Jackson’s hunger strike of the 1990s. That was when, 3 weeks into the hunger strike, a reporter asked him why he didn’t lose any weight. Jesse responded ‘ahhh, we have people rotating through this hunger strike’.

I guess this type of nonsense works on the lefty brain. Why would I care if you don’t eat? Go for the Darwin award, I think those on a hunger strikes could be nominated.

We need a welfare strike.

Stop feeding, housing, educating, providing healthcare, etc., to the invaders and the problem will go away.

“I will cut down on chocolate sauce with my ice cream. Will that help?”

I had to laugh. A guy I worked with 35 years ago ... that actually WAS his diet. (Didn’t work, though.)
