The House is poised to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib for 'promoting false narratives' about the war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas, after Democrats failed to block the resolution in a Tuesday vote.
Do you agree with the decision to send weapons, soldier and ships to the Middle East as a deterrent in the Israel-Hamas war?
Last week’s censure motion to censure Ms. Tlaib failed thanks to “no” votes by 23 Republicans, including Mr. McCormick, Georgia Republican and member of the House Ethics Committee. “Representative Tlaib has undermined U.S. interests with her statements and must be censured,” Mr. McCormick said. Democrats, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, said Tuesday that censuring Ms. Tlaib would amount to “the punishment of speech,” and fell outside the historic purpose of the punishment which has typically been aimed at actions of lawmakers, not words.
