Rashida Tlaib Calls for Hunger Strikes to ‘Shut Down ICE’
Posted By Brent Scher On April 18, 2019 @ 5:00 am In Politics | No Comments
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) urged her supporters to join her in a hunger strike to push for action to "shut down" U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arguing the radical push to abolish ICE can't be achieved by Congress.
Tlaib, headlining a Detroit fundraiser this past weekend for the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights, complained of colleagues who are constantly "policing" what she says and lack willingness to embrace bold stands such as abolishing ICE. She called on her activist audience to join her in a hunger strike at the border.

You go first, Ms. Tlaib.

I think that they should also hold their breath while waiting for ICE to shut down.

Works for me!
You keep going,gurl! You and your allies should starve yourselves until you make a Somalian refugee look fat,and then keep it up for another month or two.
Just think of the impact you can make if you starve yourselves to death!!!!!
I say,"GO FOR IT!"

Not fair. She has about fifty pounds to spare.

I never understand why a hunger strike would work. You can't force a person to eat. That is their own decision. If they don't care about themselves why should we?

In a Thursday email, Tlaib's communications director Denzel McCampbell said Tlaib was not actually calling for a hunger strike, but rather stating that "she knows of folks who have done" them.
So she's asking her supporters to go hungry, but not her, perish the thought. *****rollingeyes*****

Go For It!
But somehow I don't think these people will have Bobby Sands' level of commitment to the cause.

This is hilarious. Good Grief Democrats are idiots and fools!
You only go on a hunger strike when there is someone who is providing you food and is somehow responsible for your safety and welfare, like a jail or prison for example.
Random anonymous people going on strike when nobody other than themselves is involved is beyond ridiculous.
Why would anyone go on a hunger strike when they are the only ones who know they are doing it? LOL that's nuts!

Betcha SHE won't be the one to stop eating!
By the way, I think it's a great idea. The more muzzies and democrat-communist fellow travelers that starve themselves, the better.

A hunger strike makes a more interesting headline than the original "Vow of Silence" nobody is talking about. 888mouth

Word has it that Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell have been enlisted, and starvation date is approaching infinity.
