Till Wednesday, Tlaib had not issued any statement on the rally.
Excerpt from Wikipedia on Al-Quds Day, “Quds Day (literally 'Jerusalem Day'), officially known as International Quds Day (Persian: روз جهانی قدس, romanized: Ruz Jahani Quds), is a is an annual pro-Palestinian event held on the last Friday of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan to express support for Palestinians and oppose Israel and Zionism. (4) Its name is derived from the Arabic name for Jerusalem: Al-Quds. The event was first held in Iran in 1979, shortly after the Iranian Revolution.
Fox News congressional correspondent Hillary Vaughn caught Tlaib as she walked toward an elevator with a staff member at a House office building. Vaughn repeatedly, but respectfully, asked Tlaib about the “Death to America” chant at a rally in her district. Tlaib continued to reiterate that she does not talk to Fox News, and “I don't talk to people who say racist things.” Tlaib also accused the network of being “Islamophobic”.
Vaughan: Congresswoman Tlaib?
Tlaib: I don't discuss to Fox Information! I don't discuss to Fox Information!
Vaughan: At a rally in your district, individuals have been chanting 'Down with America', do you condemn…
Tlaib: I don't discuss to Fox Information!
Vaughn: However do you condemn the 'Loss of life to America' slogans?
Tlaib: I don't discuss to individuals who say racist issues.
Vaughn: Why can't you say whether or not or not you condemn those that chanted 'Loss of life to America?' Why are you afraid to speak to Fox Information?
Tlaib: Fox Information just isn’t, no, take heed to me, it’s the objective of Fox Information to make use of racist feedback in the direction of my group and I don’t discuss to Fox Information.
Vaughn: Is 'Loss of life to America' racist?
Tlaib: I don't discuss to Fox Information.
Vaughn: Is it racist to chant 'Loss of life to America'?
Tlaib: Discuss in regards to the racist attitudes of your individuals. , you guys know precisely what you do. And I do know you’re 'Islamophobic', however you guys should take care of this your self, you aren’t going to make use of me.
