"This breakdown examines a floor clash in the House of Representatives over Lebanon policy that escalated into a rare, hours-long procedural standoff. During debate on a resolution calling for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Lebanon, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio accused Hezbollah of terrorism and directed pointed remarks at Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, prompting her to invoke a seldom-used House rule demanding his words be struck from the record.

Tlaib has a favorite term for any who do not like Hamas killing toddlers with their bare hands (entirely the opinion of TD): Foul mouthed Rashida Tlaib rouses the Jew-hating rabble: ‘motherf**kers! We ain’t going anywhere’ Her name for President Trump..
