    Really? This is a stretch. Aside from the fact that Tlaib is a minor player in Congressional politics, all she said was “I don’t talk to Fox News”. If THIS is what conservatives get fired up about, well, I don’t know what to say. Unserious people.

    Lol this is straight disinformation, and an example of why she didn’t take the interview with faux news.

    Delete this bullshit.

    Here’s the actual transcript:

    VAUGHN: Congresswoman Tlaib?

    TLAIB: I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!

    VAUGHN: At a rally in your district people were chanting ‘Death to America’, do you condemn…

    TLAIB: I do not talk to Fox News!

    VAUGHN: But do you condemn chants of ‘Death to America’?

    TLAIB: I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes.

    VAUGHN: Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn people chanting ‘Death to Amer…’ Why are you afraid to talk to Fox News?

    TLAIB: Fox News is not, not, listen to me, using racist tropes towards my community is what Fox News is about and I don’t talk to Fox News.

    VAUGHN: Is ‘Death to America’ racist?

    TLAIB I don’t talk to Fox News.

    VAUGHN: Is chanting ‘Death to America’ racist?

    TLAIB: Talk about your guys’ racist tropes. You know, you guys know exactly what you do. And I know you’re ‘Islamophobic’, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own self, you’re not gonna use me.

        People ignore the rantings of a deranged lunatic on the street and aren’t blamed for not responding to those rantings. Fox has screamed lies and propaganda at the top of its lungs and have argued they aren’t a news channel in court. Why should an elected representative respond to the ravings of someone like that?

    Want to know why I don’t block this community, as it’s full of hateful racist trolls?

    I don’t block this community because it’s great at showing me who the hateful racist trolls are.

    This makes it easier for me to block the hateful racist trolls.

    Does she normally walk around in public with her hair uncovered? Isn’t that haram?

      She doesnt wear any sort of veil. The Qur’an never mentions the clothing women should wear. That’s only in the writings of islamic religious leaders. Some muslims argue that only the rules in the Qur’an need to be followed and all the other rulings by man are optional. Tlaib is one of those muslims and shows that by not wearing a veil.

        Thank you for an interesting and informative answer to my off-topic irrelevant question.
