On Capitol Hill, a camera operator from Fox News encountered a disturbance caused by an aide to Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan who was carrying an umbrella. Fox News host Brett Baier referred to this incident as “Umbrellagate,” as reported by Fox News.
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will speak before a joint session of Congress, as reported by The Hill. This news follows the recent statement from the International Criminal Court suggesting the possibility of arresting Netanyahu for war crimes related to Israel’s actions in response to the killing of its citizens by Hamas. In a video shared on X, Pergram reached out for a response regarding the invitation from Tlaib, who has openly expressed her disapproval of Netanyahu and her backing of the Palestinian movement.

This is outrageous. Worthy of censure. A member of Congress paying a thug to block press cameras on the grounds of the people’s house. Disgraceful. https://t.co/mHUnygYDm3
