A staffer with Squad member Rashida Tlaib's tried to stop a Fox News reporter from asking her questions about the prospect of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing the US Congress.
Rep. Tlaib, the lone Palestinian-American in the House of Representatives, has been harshly critical of Israel's response to Hamas brutal assault on the Jewish state on October 7.
Israel is fighting to wipe out Hamas militants who attacked Israel. Palestinian authorities say more than 35,000 people have been killed during Israel's campaign in Gaza.
On Thursday, the Michigan Democrat was walking near the Capitol when Fox News' Chad Pergram approached her.
The video broadcast by the conservative network sees the reporter begin his question: 'What happens if Netanyahu comes-' before the umbrella is shoved in his face, preventing her from being seen by Pergram.
When the staffer changes their position, Pergram begins his line of questioning again.
'Ms. Tlaib, what happens if Netanyahu comes to speak? Is that a mistake by the speaker to extend this request? What do you think of the Democratic leaders agreeing to that request as well?,' he asks.
'Would you attend? Would you protest in any form?' Pergram persists.
With the umbrella still being used to obscure the Squad member, Tlaib finally responded.
'I don't know, inviting a war criminal to Congress is a sham. It's shameful,' she said.
A dispute occurs between the Fox crew and Tlaib's staff over whether someone was hit. 'We have it on video, guys,' Pergram says.
During a segment on Bret Baier's show, he labeled the incident 'Umbrellagate.'

Antifa moves
If it is assault, then file charges.
or,
SINCE it is assault, file charges.
“...before the umbrella is shoved in his face...”
Interesting part of this is that the umbrella was blocking the news reporter but when he changed sides anad there was nothing in the way, the umbrella was folded and not even needed for anything. It wasn’t needed for anything to begin with so it’s obvious it was used to threaten the reporter at the least.

The war ends when Hamas returns the hostages and unconditionally surrenders. It’s pretty simple. Or it would have never started if they didn’t attack. Again pretty simple. No one gets upset at Ukraine for winning too much. Putin and Hamas are both bad. But, some reason Israel is supposed to ease-up on Hamas.

The hostages are dead. Don’t pussyfoot around the subject.
At least the umbrella keeps you from seeing thaf hideous face of hers and having bad dreams that night.
dems using umbrellas isn’t a shock.
antifa, dem street thugs, have been using them for a while.
Another Fuzzy Muzzie politician with dreams of bringing down “da Great Satan” for her religion.
Send her ass back to Palestine.
I like it. Shows people like her for what she is.
Of course, the guy with the umbrella is in the same Douchecanoe Tlaib is.
This is what Leftists do. Picture Biden walking to the helicopter with a phalanx of people around him to conceal and isolate him. Same thing.
Strange, how so many people call the truth about Putin but refuse to say the same about Zelensky (which he is).
What is your point? If the hostages are dead, then HAMAS should hand over the bodies as part of their unconditional surrender. Since HAMAS clearly took it upon themselves to start the war, the responsibility for ending this war is also on HAMAS. That’s how starting a war works.
Slaib need to be deported back to her homeland so she can clean up that mess before trying to destroy America.
Hamas in the USA…
Umbrella didn’t have a “hook” on the bottom, just snatch it and toss it away.
I agree completely.
