WASHINGTON (Michigan News Source) – Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Detroit), who was censured by Congress for her Anti-Semetic rhetoric, spoke out against President Joe Biden over the weekend, encouraging Michigan Democrats to vote “uncommitted” at the polls in the presidential primary for his refusal to call for a ceasefire in the Middle East.

Tlaib is protesting Biden’s position on the Israel-Hamas war.

The Detroit Representative spoke to Michigan voters in a video re-posted by ‘Listen to Michigan,” a campaign for Michigan Democrat voters to vote uncommitted in protest of President Biden’s position on the Israel-Hamas war.

“It is important as you all know not only to march against the genocide, not only make sure we’re calling our members of Congress … it is also important to create a voting block, something that is a bullhorn to say enough is enough,” Tlaib said on the video.

Tlaib encouraged an “uncommitted” vote.

She encouraged voters to choose “uncommitted” on the ballot, instead of voting for President Biden, as she spoke outside the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center in Dearborn.

“We don’t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction,” Tlaib said in the video. “We want to support life, we want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza… This is the way you can raise our voices. Don’t make us even more invisible right now. We feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted.”

Biden receives pushback from some Michigan districts.

More of Michigan’s leaders within the Arab and Muslim communities are beginning to side with “Listen to Michigan,” as they pledge to vote “uncommitted.”

During the first week of February, Dearborn, Arab-American, and Muslim leaders met with senior advisors from the Biden administration to share their thoughts. Among the leaders present was Dearborn Mayor, Abdullah Hammoud.

“For the last several months, it has become increasingly clear that our position and viewpoints on the ongoing conflict have not been accurately captured by mainstream media and have failed to reach the highest office in our government,” he said on X (formerly Twitter). “This meeting was held to ensure that the White House and those with the ability to change the course of the genocide unfolding in Gaza very clearly hear and understand the demands of our community – directly from us.”

The mayor is also one of more than two dozen leaders that have pledged to vote uncommitted in the upcoming Presidential Primary Election after signing onto a “Listen to Michigan” campaign. Their decision did not change after the meeting.

The campaign manager for the group is Tlaib’s younger sister, Layla Elabed, who has said that volunteers for the effort made 150,000 phone calls in its first week.

“In recent months, a critical question has plagued residents of Michigan: how to make our voices heard when President Biden officials ignore our pleas,” the group’s website said. “This sentiment is deeply felt in the Detroit and Dearborn area, where the community is acutely aware of the devastation in Gaza – a crisis we feel intimately connected to, as it impacts our friends, families, and broader communities. Despite our efforts through protests, letters, calls, and demonstrations, our pleas seem to fall on deaf ears while the tragedy in Gaza escalates. Frustrated with the lack of response, we are now turning to a more traditional method of democratic expression: our voting power.”
