Far-left 'Squad' member Rep. Rashida Tlaib survived an attempt by House Republicans to censure her over her critical remarks against Israel and accusations that she led an anti-Israel 'insurrection' at the U.S. Capitol complex.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., cries during a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza near the Capitol in Washington on Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023. Far-left “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib survived an attempt by House Republicans to censure her over her critical remarks against Israel and accusations that she led an anti-Israel “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol complex.
The 23 Republican lawmakers who voted with Democrats to table or kill the rebuke of Ms. Tlaib included members of the Michigan delegation and those citing concerns over punishing free speech. She also weathered a flood of criticism after posting on social media that Israel was responsible for striking the hospital. U.S. intelligence and assessments from other countries corroborated the Jewish state’s claim that an errant missile fired by Hamas terrorists caused the blast.She called Ms. Greene’s attempts to censure her “unhinged” and “deeply Islamophobic.”
The resolution also included Ms. Tlaib’s social media posting in 2020 of an illustrated version of the quote “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which is a Palestine Liberation Organization saying that describes the elimination of Israel.
