Former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) who left his seat to mount an unsuccessful primary challenge against Gov. Kathy Hochul, is now running again for his old seat. It looks like he’s having a hard time being critical of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) as footage obtained by Townhall shows.

“Tom, why won’t you call for Tlaib to be expelled from the House, the Democratic caucus for blaming Israel for Hamas’ attack,” a man could be heard questioning as he tries to speak to Suozzi.

And yet such a response does said nothing about Tlaib. Further, if Suozzi is such a strong supporter of our ally in the Middle East, it further begs the question as to why he won’t denounce Tlaib.
