2 issues: 1) Dual loyalty accusations are standard antisemitism. This is part of a long pattern from Tlaib of associating with (Ex: Linda Sarsour), defending (ex: MLH), and promoting antisemitism (Ex; BDS). Dems have a serious issue in their caucus, & media gives them a pass.
2) There are very legitimate criticisms of this bill (not what Tlaib engaged in here).
It's not as clear cut as some pretend. Unpopular speech is protected, but gov't can refuse to do business w companies that discriminate based on religion. BDS is an antisemitic movement.

thus there is a tough balancing act here between protecting the right to protest and allowing companies to circumvent rules against religious discrimination by masking them as anti-Israel. Courts can decide. I would honestly probably oppose the bill bc it can be read too broadly.
