Rashida Tlaib doubles down after McCarthy cancels 'antisemitic' event, holds it in Senate
Fox News
Rep. Rashida Tlaib has defied House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and instead held an event recognizing the "Nakba," a Palestinian term for Israel's founding that means "catastrophe."
The speaker had condemned her plans as "antisemitic" and preempted her by reserving the same event space on the House side of the Capitol for a bipartisan commemoration of Israel's 75th anniversary, which lands on May 14.

"This event at the U.S. Capitol is canceled," McCarthy tweeted late Tuesday. "Instead, I will host a bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Israel relationship."
