Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is introducing a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) citing alleged 'antisemitic activity' and sympathies with terrorist organizations.
  • The proposed censure is specifically reacting to Tlaib's remarks about Israel and her participation in the pro-Palestinian protest at U.S. Capitol, which Greene refers to as an 'insurrection'.
  • Greene has criticized the Democratic Party for failing to hold Tlaib accountable, stating that Tlaib's reportedly antisemitic statements and actions are not new.
  • Among the examples cited by Greene are Tlaib's controversial 2019 comments claiming the Holocaust gave her a 'calming feeling', and her recent claim that Israel operates as an 'apartheid government'.
  • Greene has called for an investigation into last week's protest on Capitol Hill and is confident that she has the full backing of the Republican Party in this resolution.
