Washington — The House voted to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, after her defense of a rallying cry that is widely regarded as calling for the elimination of Israel.
The censure resolution introduced by Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick condemns the Michigan Democrat for "promoting false narratives" around the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel and "calling for the destruction of the state of Israel." The House passed the measure late Tuesday by a vote of 234 to 188, with 22 Democrats joining all but 4 Republicans voting in favor of her censure. Four members voted present.

This woman and her fellow squad members are not fit for office. When you support Hamas, you have crossed a line that should end in not only censure but removal from office. We should not tolerate anyone in public office who would support such heinous soulless acts of terror. This woman and her friends are reprehensible. Believe me, there are more out there just like her who want to get into public office to force their views on this country through the work that is done in Washington.

So she got censured. But she’s still there, isn’t she?

Next month there will be something else, maybe a sternly worded letter or name calling. All have zero effect and will change nothing.

The censure will strip Tlaib of committee assignments, for one. It also reveals in the debate and in the vote where the congress critters really stand on the issue of anti-semites like Tlaib and how they view G-d’s chosen people.

Perhaps the Tlaib and her Palestinian constituents would be interested to know how much former residents of Dearborn resent them. Maybe Muslims in Minneapolis would be, too. Maybe residents of Eden Prairie, MN of every race and religion would be surprised to learn that at one time people enjoyed looking at the farmland there, the undeveloped beauty it contained. Intil they came and had it developed. I once lived in a home with a gorgeous view of Lake Sammamish near Seattle until the land near me was developed and my view forever blocked. And life goes on, people move around, build houses, frustrate others, impact cultures, etc. It is the story of mankind. The Palestinians can’t handle it and I think the Bible describes their tribe as in conflict with everyone else all the time until the end of time. When monsters put a tiny baby in a 500* oven and force the mother to watch it bake they are scum. I will support whoever doesn’t excuse or cheer that behavior. Rashida Tlaib and her supporters can go to hell.

What should be controversial about this? But alas, the enemies of Israel are being exposed and coming undone.

Do you believe in the 1st Amendment or not? Obviously not! Just remember this amendment wasn't written to cover speech you only agree with. How long have we been complaining that speech has been censored then we turn on a dime because it's Israel. Pathetic! This way is the way to totalitarianism.

"water off a ducks back" that's exactly the way Tlaib is looking at this "censure"
- it means nothing to her because she is a devoted terrorist sympathizer and a devoted muslim with no other agenda but to destroy the USofA and all who are not with her and her disruptive albeit comical actions

#11, by supporting and encouraging terrorism from a position of power, Tlaib is essentially yelling fire in a movie theater. Which is NOT covered under the 1st Amendment.

At one time, wasn't Tom McClintock one of the good guys?

#11, Tlaib and every other American, has freedom of speech, but not freedom from the consequences of what they say. She endorses terrorism and genocide. Being a member of Congress makes what she said particularly heinous. And dangerous.
This is also (one of many reasons) why I had a problem with the clowns who brought a megaphone to the legislative chamber in Tennessee. "Speaking truth to power" is fine, but when you ARE the power you have to play by the rules, which is vote however you want and accept when you lose. THAT, my friends is really "what democracy looks like."

Which nation do you represent Ms. Tlaib? The Nation of Islam? Apparently not this nation. You show your allegiance by having the wrong flag outside your office. You do not represent our America's ideals by your hatred of Jews and neither does your fellow travelers, the Squad!

Buck doing all the damage he can after announcing he was leaving House, McClintock has been a useless RINO forever. Reeletee by a small safe district. Goes with his own weird flow. A loner, has never built any alliances. Feels comfy that way.

Taliab wants to be a Palestinian, go live with them in Gaza and leave America alone. Taliab's behavior encourages as a statesman encourages Hamas in their efforts to kill all the Jews in Israel. She should have been expelled from the as a representative.
