Democratic President Joe Biden called Democratic Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib a "fighter" a day after she accused him of "taking orders" from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the escalating Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"I tell you what Rashida," Biden said, addressing her directly during their visit to a Ford auto plant in Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday. "I want to say to you that I admire your intellect, I admire your passion and I admire your concern for so many other people."
