Rashida Tlaib suggests House leadership refused to authorize a vigil on the Capitol steps mourning Palestinian and Israeli deaths

• Rep. Rashida Tlaib helped organize a vigil to mourn Palestinian and Israeli deaths last week.
• They held it on the House steps — even though they hadn't been authorized to do so.
• "There is a concerted effort to silence those speaking up for peaceful coexistence," said Tlaib.

Last week, Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri organized a small vigil on the House steps to mourn both Palestinian and Israeli lives lost in the Israel-Hamas war.
