Conservative Congresswoman Files Motion To Censure ‘Squad’ Dem Over Israel Remarks

On Tuesday, conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) filed a motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over her antisemitic comments amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas terror organization.

In the motion, Rep. Greene accuses Tlaib 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.

Read the full motion below:

The Georgia lawmaker accused Tlaib of leading a pro-Palestinian protest on Capitol Hill last week which attracted hundreds of demonstrators who called for a cease-fire after the terror group Hamas staged an unprecedented, bloody attack on Israel on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of civilians and prompting an ongoing response from the Israeli military.

During the protest, Tlaib, who is the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, pushed the debunked claim that Israel was responsible for bombing a hospital in Gaza. The Democrat lawmakers then refused to retract her remarks despite multiple intelligence agencies confirming the blast came from a misfired Hamas rocket.

In its text, Greene also referenced Tlaib’s endorsement of a slogan used by Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization. She also recalled Tlaib’s past comments in which she called Israel “an apartheid government.”

Greene also called for Tlaib’s support of last week’s cease-fire protest to be investigated by multiple House panels.

“It should [have] a House Ethics investigation. [The House Administration Committee] should be investigating it. I think the Department of Justice, FBI should be investigating, even possibly the CIA,” Greene said.
