00:01Returning to the events of yesterday, I think you saw the silent protest by Rashida Tlaib
00:07on the House floor.
00:08She was holding up signs that – towards Netanyahu that said, guilty of genocide and
00:14also war criminal on the other side of that sign.
00:17Did you think that was an appropriate thing for her to do?
00:20And if not, what do you think the consequences should be?
00:24I didn't see the activity of Rashida Tlaib, as I understand it.
00:29She was to my left.
00:30I was focused on a speech that was being delivered and processing the information that was being
00:36communicated by the Prime Minister.
00:37Was it appropriate?
00:38Thanks.
00:39To follow up on his question, was it appropriate?
00:44Rashida Tlaib is an elected member of Congress.
00:48Okay?
00:49She has a responsibility to her district in the same way that I have a responsibility
00:53to my district.
