Republicans Renew Push To Censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — Republicans introduced a pair of censure resolutions against Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Monday after the House rejected a similar measure last week. Another measure, by Rep. Rich McCormick, would censure Tlaib “for promoting false narratives regarding the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and calling for destruction for the State of Israel.” The measures are part of a broader Republican effort to connect progressive lawmakers and Muslim and Arab Americans to the terrorist activities of the Palestinian group Hamas. Tlaib has called for a cease-fire and on Friday posted a video using a pro-Palestinian slogan — “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — that many of Israel’s defenders consider an antisemitic call to wipe Israel off the map, since the phrase refers to the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The resolution dubiously claimed Tlaib “led an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex” because she addressed pro-Palestinian demonstrators last month who were later arrested for protesting inside a House office building.
