The House has voted to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan for her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.
The House voted late Tuesday to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan - the only Palestinian American in Congress - an extraordinary rebuke of her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.
With other Democrats standing by her side, Tlaib defended her stance, saying she "will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words." That criticism reached new heights after the Oct. 7 attack by the terrorist group Hamas left hundreds of Israelis dead and scores injured. Tlaib, who has family in the West Bank, came under heavy reproval after she failed to immediately condemn Hamas after the attack.
He added, "But it cannot go unanswered." It was unclear if Schneider would support the resolution on final passage. The censure push resulted in a dramatic vote on the House floor amid political tensions over the ongoing, deadly Israel-Hamas war. While the majority of both parties have historically stood firmly on the side of Israel, divisions have emerged in the Democratic Party about the American response.
Censure had long been viewed as a punishment of last resort, just one step below expulsion and to be triggered only for the most egregious wrongdoing. But censure resolutions are quickly becoming routine in the chamber, often wielded in strikingly partisan ways.
