Max Miller Accuses Rashida Tlaib of Hezbollah Advocacy, Triggering House Floor Clash Over Lebanon Resolution
3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Jun 3
Summary
Miller told Tlaib on the House floor that she "advocate[s] for terrorists on a daily basis" during debate on her measure to block U.S. forces from entering Lebanon, setting off a shouting match.
Tlaib had introduced the proposal to limit U.S. involvement in Israel’s military campaign in Lebanon, which Miller cast as shielding Hezbollah, a militant group based there.
Tlaib asked that Miller’s remarks be taken down, and the House ultimately struck the comment from the record.
The Lebanon measure is expected to fail amid opposition from Republicans and some Democrats, even as the House earlier Wednesday passed an Iran war powers resolution requiring congressional approval for new strikes.
