Tlaib defends antifa members convicted in shooting of Texas cop, calls sentences a 'travesty'
Fox News ^ | Jun. 24, 2026 | Adam Pack

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., sparked fierce backlash after her apparent defense of accused antifa cell members sentenced to decades in prison for a violent attack on a Texas immigration facility that federal prosecutors called an act of terrorism.

One of the defendants, Benjamin Song, a former Marine Corps reservist, was handed a 100-year prison sentence — the maximum punishment — Tuesday after being convicted of attempted murder for shooting Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross, who survived a bullet to the neck.

The Constitution defines treason as, among other things, consisting of waging war against the United States and giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. Looks like Tlaib Has certainly violated the treason clause by giving aid and comfort to these vermin who waged war against the US and who were just appropriately convicted.

According to her attempted murder is just peachy keen if it is done against those she opposes, free speech justifies killing those you disagree with.

This is just one of the evils of liberals

Rashida Tlaib, (D-Mich) has provided unmistakable reasons why she should not be permitted to remain in any government position, or in any position of authority at all.

I’ll take a wild guess and say she doesn’t have the best interest of Americans in her heart

And now a quote from a hero of the socialist left:

“To execute a man we don’t need proof of his guilt. We only need proof that it’s necessary to execute him. It’s that simple.”
- Che Guevara

If there was ever a reason to have native born Americans only for office.....she’s the poster child.

It just adds to her cred with the communists. Earlier this year she was unlawfully negotiating with foreign governments to help break the Cuba embargo by providing oil. She belongs in prison.

Why do we have these rotten bastards in our congress? They should be tossed out yesterday. They hate everything about our great Nation that I love.

The travesty here is that this anti-American Muslim is in the United States Congress and has a say in our laws and the running of the country she hates. Especially when she lied when she took her oath of office with the requirements that oath placed on her.

No surprise. We noted the cheering when Charie Kirk was assassinated and the gloom when Trump almost was. This reaction is in perfect line with those previous ones. The funny thing is she has no self awareness that she is a public figure and just as vulnerable. Probably more so from the left than right crazies.

She’s a Jihadi intent on the overthrow of the Constitution.

[And a total nutcase whackjob, at best.]

Wish our law enforcement would put Tlaib’s posterior in jail for treason.

Maybe she was reflecting on how bomber and terrorist Bill Ayers got to live a pretty good life and even got to attend the opening of Obama’s place the other day, and poor Benjamin Song has been deprived of all that. Ideally, the first and only opportunity Song will have to leave prison will be in a casket.

She is less of a problem than all the foreign born federal judges, making up law as they go along.
