Read full article: Rep. Rashida Tlaib recounts past death threats in tearful Capitol riot speech on House FloorThe hearing, which detailed the most violent domestic attack on Congress in U.S. history, was emotional for some -- particularly for Rep.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., led colleagues in an hourlong session in which Congress members shared their stories from that distressing day. โAnd I feel bad for Alexandria (Ocasio-Cortez) and so many of my colleagues that were here,โ Tlaib said on the House Floor. During her Thursday speech, Tlaib called on members of Congress to rebuke hate speech and urged them do stop downplaying the insurrection. Tlaib isnโt the only member of Congress -- and not even the only one from Michigan -- to receive death threats.
