Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has urged climate activists to be 'much more aggressive' as they plan a campaign of blocking highways and chaotic protests later this summer, DailyMail.com can reveal.

DailyMail.com gained access to private talks in which Tlaib, a member of Congress's leftist 'Squad,' gave a pep talk to some 125 hardliners from Climate Defiance, Declare Emergency and other environmental groups.

The activists have already blocked US highways, vandalized an artwork in Washington, and heckled politicians at speaking engagements. They're understood to be plotting much larger European-style climate protests later this summer.

'We have to be much more aggressive in regard to fossil fuel expansions,' Tlaib, a Detroit Democrat, told the online gathering.

'If we don't get the policies we need, if our legislative process is failing us, then direct action gets the goods.'

Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, spoke as more smoke from Canadian wildfires drifted across New York City and other parts of the US northeast in the latest ominous sign of unchecked global warming.

Incitement!

Rashida can go bleep herself.

SPJNK.

Isn’t this insurrection?

I bet regular people would be put in jail for doing that.

can’t argue with that, let’s get to work.

Yep, incitement. She should be charged and prosecuted. In the House McCarthy should take steps to expell her. But guess this will be lost on his long to-do list: Impeaching Biden, Harris, Mayorkis, and others.

“Isn’t this insurrection?”

No…just an intersection. Just drive through

[rottndog]

What? A dimocrat encouraging terrorism? No...

[volunbeer]

Rules are for thee and not for me.

[bk1000]

I will not even slow down if I encounter “protesters” blocking the road. Everyone knows how dangerous it is for normal people to encounter those angry woketards. It is not reasonable to expect otherwise.

Hopefully the eco-wankers will target her eco violating property. 🎯

[Chad C. Mulligan]

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some cause is to promise people they will have a chance at maltreating someone else. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behaviour "righteous indignation" - this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.

[rktman]

😂😂😂😂. “unchecked global warming.”. Written with a straight face no doubt. Fidiots!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Commie douche bags can make threats, NO consequence, grannies take selfies at the capitol, solitary confinement

[pas]

Violent insurrection. Our very democracy is at stake.

[Lockbox]

Maybe we should promote Trump for President to save the planet…. From the wacky libs 🤣🤣

[o-n-money]

“Rashida can go bleep herself.”

No one else would do that.

[SkyDancer]

Blocking highways? I see some crunching maybe going to happen.

[davidb56]

Block the highway here in Northern Idaho and you’ll and up a red spot on the road. Antifa won’t show up here to protest either, because the majority of the folks here would beat the $hit out of them.
