The thing Democrats have going for them is that they always stick together. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who blames "apartheid state" Israel for Hamas' terrorist attack that killed more than a thousand Israelis, has always flown a Palestinian flag outside her office door (ironically, next to a Pride flag). As Twitchy reported, a reporter asked Tlaib on Tuesday about infants being beheaded and women raped, and Tlaib beat a hasty retreat out of there.
Someone asked Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer about Tlaib's Palestinian flag, and his response was incredibly tone-deaf:
"Should your colleague Rashida Tlaib still have the Palestinian flag outside her office?"

But he does not fly a Palestinian flag inside the Capitol, though.
At his house, not ours.

Why are members of the US Congress flying the flags of other countries in their taxpayer funded DC offices?

This is something you’ll only see in America.
Can you imagine a Mexican lawmaker flying the US flag in his/her office?!
Totes the same thing

His home is not the same as outside his office in congress. Take her flag and put in her home.

We have ideas about where she could put her flag.
Steny Hoyer implies her office is her house.

So @RepStenyHoyer thinks it’s cute, a little bit funny & a chuckle about what Talib does & supports. That just as disgusting sir.

Last time I checked, the Danes weren’t committing terrorist acts or sympathizing with terrorist acts. Dems are always down playing horrible actions of their other dem colleagues. They are all disgusting.

Write back when Denmark beheads a few babies, @RepStenyHoyer

Well. Don’t fly it in our house. 🇺🇸

Shameful response.

Tricky answer. No equivalency. Tired of politicians' spin. I would have had more respect for him if he had just said, " In light of recent events, it would be wise to just have an American flag outside of our offices in Congress."

It's not tough. What if a Republican put up a Russian flag outside their office? If they put up an Israeli flag, Tlaib and the rest of the Squad would accuse them of having "dual loyalties" and demand it be taken down.
Could we please get January 6 lectern guy to carry that flag out of the Capitol?
