House Republicans are getting cold feet about censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib . But if promoting antisemitism and the lies of a terrorist organization aren’t worth censuring, then what is?
Rep. Tim Walberg is reportedly “likely” to vote against the censure, as both he and Rep. John Duarte argue that Tlaib has a right to free speech. Rep. Young Kim reportedly thinks the censure, which was written by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , is too political and wants leadership to reconsider bringing it to the floor.It is worth reiterating what Tlaib did that brought this censure threat down on herself.
If the problem is that the censure was written by Greene, have a more competent and less embarrassing member write another one. But this isn’t a question of free speech or of politicization, especially not after House Republicans correctly censured Schiff. Tlaib’s decision to peddle antisemitic, pro-terrorist lies is unbecoming of a member of Congress.
