The House passed a GOP-led resolution on Tuesday to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib over comments critical of Israel and in support of Palestinians amid Israel’s war against Hamas.
The move amounts to a rare and significant rebuke of the Michigan Democrat, who is the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress. The vote was 234 to 188 with four Republicans voting against and 22 Democrats voting in support of the censure resolution.
The resolution, which was introduced by Georgia GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, advanced earlier in the day after a Democratic-led effort to block the measure failed.
It’s not like they’re not facing an imminent shut down or anything.
But their rabid fanbois, tho.
At this point, they could shit in their hand, say it came from Trump, and sell viewing tickets to fund their PACs. I don’t know why they bother with this obvious political theatre.
Doesn’t explain those 22 despicable Democrats, though…
As for why, that’s as simple as it’s depressing: because it’s the kind of thing their owner donors and the most un/misinformed voters love.
Centrist Democrats work with Republicans against progressives.
Yup. The ratchet keeps turning.
