— Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) October 11, 2023

Thanedar’s sharp rebuke of the DSA was in stark contrast to his fellow lawmaker Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who represented the India-born Thanedar’s 13th Congressional District for four years before shifting to represent the 12th District after congressional lines were redrawn.

On Wednesday, one day after the Palestinian American Tlaib ignored a Fox Business reporter who repeatedly asked her to respond to reports of Hamas gruesomely murdering Israeli children — even beheading babies — she issued a self-pitying statement.

“I do not support the targeting and killing of civilians, whether in Israel or Palestine,” she said, according to Politico. “The fact that some have suggested otherwise is offensive and rooted in bigoted assumptions about my faith and ethnicity.”
