House censures Rashida Tlaib over anti-Israel comments
|
 [Washington Examiner] The House censured Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her pro-Palestinian comments concerning the conflict in Israel, making her the second Democratic lawmaker this year to be condemned by her colleagues.
Lawmakers voted 234-188 to censure Tlaib, punishing the Michigan Democrat for "promoting false narratives" about the Oct. 7 attack against Israel by the Hamas militant group and allegedly calling for the "destruction of the state of Israel." The resolution passed after 22 Democrats joined nearly all Republicans in supporting the measure, overcoming opposition that stalled a similar motion to censure Tlaib last week. Only four Republicans voted against the measure.
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) filed the motion on Monday, pushing for a censure resolution that would punish Tlaib for her comments while maintaining her First Amendment rights. The latter portion comes after 23 Republicans joined all Democrats in tabling a similar resolution last week offered by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), citing concerns with the bill’s language.
Democrats attempted to table the motion a second time on Tuesday, but that effort failed, teeing the resolution up for a final vote. The House was initially scheduled to vote on the full resolution on Wednesday, but House leaders later expedited its passage to move the vote to Tuesday night in a blow to Greene, who was originally scheduled to have a vote on her own censure resolution the same night.
