Rep. Rashida Tlaib dodges House censure vote over ‘antisemitic activity’

“Squad” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) dodged a censure vote in the House over her history of anti-Israel remarks and participating in a pro-Palestinian protest last month that spilled into a Capitol office building.

The lower chamber on Wednesday night voted 222-186 to block a resolution to censure Tlaib after Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced the measure last week.

Every Democrat voted to table the resolution, along with Michigan GOP Reps. John Moolenaar, Tim Walberg and Bill Huizenga and 20 other Republican lawmakers.

Thirteen other Democrats and 11 Republicans were absent.

After Greene introduced the resolution to censure Tlaib, Rep. Becca Balint (D-Vt.) responded by forcing a vote to censure Greene in a tit-for-tat exchange on the House floor last week.

But shortly after the vote to censure Tlaib was killed, Democrats nixed their plans to vote for the resolution to censure Greene.

“Given the fact that this conference voted unanimously for an election denier, there was a question of whether my resolution to censure Rep. Greene could pass with the votes it needed from ‘moderate’ Republicans,” Balint said in a statement announcing she was pulling back her resolution.

“Tonight, when 23 Republicans said ‘no’ to Rep. Greene’s bigotry, I saw this situation a little differently. I want to thank them for doing the right thing. And I’m going to hold back on the vote for now,” Balint said.

Greene’s resolution faults Tlaib for “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex.”

They give the hookers a brisk business. I don’t think it’s that part that doesn’t work.

How right you are.

I agree with your statement. That fat cat money definitely helps spur people on to pull the lever for self-serving or government serving twits. I don’t think there are enough people who would actually take up arms in this country to save her from the rot within. We laugh at France but the people there continue to rise up. We have the advantage with arms but folks are just happy to go along with the status quo as long as they have internet and tv.

To their minimal credit, they do feature email addresses for viewers to chime in but it's not enough. It's like a little consolation prize we get but for all we know they use it for the filtering in of what they determine to be "problematic" and "dangerous" language, when every email they receive at those addresses is solicited by them.

I think they get more conservative suburbanites expressing their concerns than they get from people living in the city. Whenever they read samples on the air of emails they've received (once a week), you'd think that the vast majority of their viewers are moderate either way...Then, you just shake your head because you know better, and then you get pissed off because it insults your intelligence, and THEN you realize how they don't care about that at all. News outlets like these do seem to have their "Special Operations" underway, if not ramping them up. If you live the CH7 lifestyle, don't worry, you'll do just fine because they're always "Looking out for YOU".

“We did this, we voted for and put in the filth on our side of the aisle.”

Assuming that there is no credible evidence of election and voter fraud. That is one assumption that I refuse to make.

They should censure Balint for targeting MTG.

[GreenHornet]

So what? What if they did vote to censure her? What does that really mean? What are the consequences for Talib, other than wagging their finger at her and telling her she’s a bad person?

There is a lot of hoopla here, but when did the House censure any one?

The House is stuck with an Islamic terrorist favoring bitch. Her constituents put her there. Minnesota is the problem plaguing America

Balint is a lesbian and a Jew defending Hamas.

Let that sink in.

According to a Paul Harvey’s Rest of the Story that I remember, during the Revolutionary War, the loyalists far outnumbered the rebel colonists, but the latter were passionate about their cause, while the loyalists were complacent for the most part, and those that were not complacent, either were a militia auxiliary to the royal troops and the mercenaries, or disguised themselves as Indians and burnt farms and scalped people, or were Indians who burnt farms and scalped people.

Adam Schiff got censured. It does mean something, and is better than doing nothing. But 20 RINOs opted to not even do that much. Remember their names.

[Eleutheria5]

Every targets MTG. Like Trump, she thrives on being targeted and doubles down. Good for her.

[GAgal]

MTG is our Rep. Her district is NW GA bordering AL/TN halfway between Chattanooga and Atlanta. Green and comfortable all year.

The cheat machine is all democrats and rinos have besides a lamestream and local media constantly lying.

[no-to-illegals]

My news locals have become (in ones face) liars. Is so bad I cannot watch them spew their lies.

[Eleutheria5]

They also have the dense population centers.

She’s great! I love her.
