The House on Tuesday voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, punishing the only Palestinian American member of Congress over her comments related to Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
In a 234-188 vote late Tuesday night, the House passed a censure resolution put forward by Rep. Richard McCormick (R-Ga.), who accused Tlaib of “promoting false narratives” regarding the Hamas attack on Israel in October and for “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.” Twenty-two Democrats voted for the censure, while four Republicans voted against it.
Censured for her antisemitism, Rashida Tlaib becomes only the 26th member of the U.S. House of Representatives to be censured.
22 members of her own party voted in favor after Tlaib mimicked the Hamas rally cry for the erasure of Israel.
Tlaib attempted to clarify that the term she used “From the River to the Sea” did not actually mean mass extermination of all Jews, but the world knows better that. To this day she also still has up her post blaiming Israel for the bombing of the Gazan hospital killing “hundreds” which was proven false many times over.
Kol Hakavod to all who chose to call out her hateful rhetoric.
No, no and no.@RashidaTlaib leads with utter hate, callousness and total indifference to the lives of Israelis, who were slaughtered by Hamas on Oct 7th or American Jews who are experiencing unprecedented antisemitism, in part due to Rashida's incitement and vilification. https://t.co/eqZfC1iJfV

“Rashida Tlaib is another Islamic Jihadi woman, [who] believes in the same agenda like Hamas did with the same slogan.”
