The Democrats joined pro-Palestine student protestors from George Washington University at a press conference Wednesday.
Congresswomen Cori Bush (D-Mo.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) joined George Washington University student protestors for a press conference on Wednesday, less than a day after cleared pro-Palestine demonstrators’ encampment from the school grounds.
During the press conference outside the U.S. Capitol, Bush and Tlaib condemned the dismissive response that members of Congress have had towards the national mobilization of pro-Palestine student protestors over the past several weeks.
“It is incredibly disturbing that my colleagues are so quick to denounce the student protestors, but are silent about … why they are protesting,” Tlaib said.
Over the past several weeks, students at universities across the country have held demonstrations and set up encampments on their school grounds to protest Israel’s ongoing attacks on Gaza, which have killed more than 35,000 people so far.
