Marjorie Taylor Greene to bring resolution to censure Rashida Tlaib, accusing her of ‘antisemitic activity’


EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is introducing a resolution on Tuesday to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., accusing the progressive “Squad” member of “antisemitic activity” and “sympathizing with terrorist organizations.””The [Democratic] Party has done nothing to hold her accountable. They’ve done nothing to rein her in, and no one else here has done it. And so I thought it was right to list examples of – this isn’t just new. This isn’t a one-off thing. This is exactly who she is,” Greene told Fox News Digital.Greene accused Tlaib of leading a pro-Palestinian protest on Capitol Hill last week. Hundreds of demonstrators called for a cease-fire after the terror group Hamas staged an unprecedented, bloody incursion from the Palestinian exclave of Gaza into southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of civilians and prompting an ongoing response from the Israeli military.LIVE UPDATES: ISRAEL AT WAR WITH HAMAS  Rep.

Tlaib spoke at the protest, during which activists took over much of the ground floor at the Cannon House Office Building. In those comments, she blamed Israel for bombing a hospital in Gaza – remarks she did not retract after multiple intelligence agencies said that existing proof indicated the blast came from a misfired Hamas rocket.Greene called the protest “an insurrection” in her resolution.‘SQUAD’ REP TLAIB IGNORES US INTEL ABOUT GAZA HOSPITAL, SIDES WITH HAMAS OVER BIDEN ADMIN Demonstrators, calling for a cease-fire in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, chant and cheer during a protest inside the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 18, 2023.
