### So, Congress is Just a Giant Shouting Match Now?
Rep. Max Miller, the Republican from Ohio, took a swing at Rep. Rashida Tlaib from Michigan during a House debate, claiming she’s cozying up to Hezbollah. Yes, you read that right. Tlaib proposed a measure to keep U.S. troops out of Lebanon, a known Hezbollah hangout, and Miller decided to make it personal.
He called Hezbollah “butchers” and implied Tlaib has a thing for terrorists. Classy, right? Tlaib fired back, and before you know it, the House floor turned into a kindergarten playground. Miller told her, “You advocate for terrorists on a daily basis,” because apparently, name-calling is the new way to discuss policy.
Tlaib wanted those remarks retracted, and guess what? They were. Because when you’re in Congress, it seems you can’t just toss around accusations without some consequences—unless you’re a politician, in which case, it’s all fair game.
Now, let’s get to the crux of it: Tlaib’s resolution is likely going to crash and burn, thanks to the combined efforts of Republicans and some Democrats who think U.S. military involvement in Israel’s Lebanon campaign is just fine. Meanwhile, the House also passed a resolution that requires the White House to ask Congress before launching new military strikes. So, we’re all about checks and balances—unless the topic is Israel or Lebanon, right?
In a nutshell, instead of a serious discussion about foreign policy, we get a soap opera. If this is what democracy looks like, maybe we need a new script.
