WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has filed a resolution that would censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her criticism of Israel and accusing her of recently inciting an insurrection in a House office building. The measure would censure Tlaib for “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex,' Greene said in remarks on the House floor on Thursday morning.
Because it’s a privileged resolution, the House will have to vote on it within two legislative days. The House is set to return to Washington next Wednesday, so a vote wouldn’t happen until next week at the earliest. Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American serving in Congress, did not attend the protest indoors, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News, but she delivered remarks at a rally with those demonstrators outside the Capitol. 'I wish all the Palestinian people would see this.
