To win over her GOP colleagues, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Monday reintroduced her resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her commentary on Israel, the Washington Examiner reported.
Two weeks ago, Greene introduced a resolution to censure Tlaib, the first Palestinian American elected to Congress, accusing her of antisemitism, sympathizing with a terrorist organization, and spearheading an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
On Monday, Greene reintroduced her resolution, accusing Tlaib of inciting an "illegal occupation" rather than an "insurrection" at the Capitol. On Oct. 18, hundreds of primarily Jewish activists from the group "Jewish Voice for Peace" held a sit-in at the Capitol to protest Israel's expected ground assault on Gaza, the New York Post reported.
On Saturday, Greene stated that she had hoped the 23 House Republicans who voted against her original resolution would use their "freedom of speech" in Congress to censure Tlaib for her "lies, and actions that incited an illegal occupation on Oct 18th." Among the House Republicans opposed to Greene's original resolution include: North Dakota Rep. Kelly Armstrong, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck, and California Reps. John Duarte, Darrell Issa, Tom McClintock, and Doug LaMalfa.
