The House on Wednesday rejected a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her comments about the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
The resolution was brought by controversial congresswoman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and accuses Tlaib of “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex” in reference to the anti-war protest that took place on Capitol Hill last month in calling for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, spoke at the rally but did not join protesters inside the Capitol building.
The effort to censure Tlaib failed on a 222 to 186 vote. 23 Republicans joined all Democrats to table the resolution. They are:
- Rep. Kelly Armstrong (ND)
- Rep Ken Buck (CO)
- Rep. John Duarte (CA)
- Rep. Chuck Edwards (NC)
- Rep. Morgan Griffith (VA)
- Rep. Glenn Grothman (WI)
- Rep. Harriet Hageman (WY)
- Rep. Bill Huizenga (MI)
- Rep. Darrell Issa (CA)
- Rep. Dusty Johnson (SD)
- Rep. Doug LaMalfa (CA)
- Rep. Thomas Massie (KY)
- Rep. Tom McClintock (CA)
- Rep. Rich McCormick (GA)
- Rep. Max Miller (OH)
- Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA)
- Rep. John Moolenaar (MI)
- Rep. Chip Roy (TX)
- Rep. Austin Scott (GA)
- Rep. Victoria Spartz (IN)
- Rep. Michael Turner (OH)
- Rep. Derrick Van Orden (WI)
