Oho, I see the problem. See the interview here:

https://www.metrotimes.com/news/tlaib-slams-nessel-for-targeting-pro-palestinian-students-at-u-m-a-dangerous-precedent-37343930

This bit:

"“We’ve had the right to dissent, the right to protest,” Tlaib says. “We’ve done it for climate, the immigrant rights movement, for Black lives, and even around issues of injustice among water shutoffs. But it seems that the attorney general decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs.”

Nessel is the first Jewish person to be elected Attorney General of Michigan."

So it wasn't Tlaib saying the religion of the AG was an issue, Tlaib stated it points to "possible biases" in the AGs office, the author of the article, or perhaps their editor, inserted the line perhaps to clarify which bias Tlaib was talking about.

Factcheck article from the same source here endorsing that idea:

The problem is not somebody trying to "clarify" what was said.

The problem is people constantly lying in support of genocide.

The problem is people constantly lying in support of genocide.

Also, those, running static/ interference for those supporting genocide, eg, apologetics.
