Far-left lawmaker threatens Biden, accuses him of supporting 'genocide' of Palestinians
"Squad" member U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has just given President Joe Biden an ultimatum: call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Palestine war or face the consequences of not doing so in the 2024 presidential election.
The far-left representative did so in a message that she posted to X on Friday.
Take a look:

Here we go, again
The above video is the latest controversial remarks about the Israel-Palestine situation to come from Tlaib, since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on Israel.
In the post, Tlaib claims "the majority of the American people are not with you on this one." By this, Tlaib means that "the majority of the American people" do not support Biden's statement that the U.S. stands with Israel and opposes a cease-fire.
It is not immediately clear where Tlaib got the data from to make this claim. The fact of the matter is that a large percentage of Tlaib's own Democratic Party seems to oppose a ceasefire on the grounds that it would be likely to help Hamas while harming Israel. But, this is not even the most controversial part of Tlaib's message.
Tlaib included in the above video a picture of the "From the river to the sea!" chant.
And, Tlaib ends the video by accusing Biden, directly, of "having supported the genocide of the Palestinian people." Tlaib added, "We will remember in 2024."
"From the river to the sea!"
Perhaps the most controversial part of the above video is Tlaib's inclusion of the "From the river to the sea!" chant.
As Townhall.com editor Rebecca Downs has pointed out, "The calls of ‘from the river to the sea’ in MI, where Tlaib's district is, is a call for genocide," - specifically the genocide of the Israeli people.
The congresswoman has released this statement in response, claiming:
From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.
