Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Thursday she has filed a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for “anti-Semitic activity” following the brutal, deadly sneak attack by Iran-backed Hamas on Israel earlier this month.
Among other actions, the “Squad” member has repeated Hamas’ claim — which has been debunked — that Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, while taking five days to condemn the horrific atrocities the terrorist group committed after it launched its Oct. 7 attacks.
Greene referenced an Oct. 18 anti-Israel protest at the U.S. Capitol Building following a speech by Tlaib in which she cried over Hamas’ claim about Israel bombing the hospital, in addition to previous statements and actions, as her justification for censuring the far-left Democrat, according to a post on the X platform.
“I just introduced my resolution to censure Rashida Tlaib as privileged to force a House vote in two legislative days,” Greene wrote on the platform. “Tlaib led a pro-Hamas insurrection into the Capitol complex, has repeatedly displayed her anti-Semitic beliefs, and shown her hatred for Israel. She must be held accountable and censured.”
The Daily Caller added:
Tlaib and fellow “Squad” members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Cori Bush of Missouri, along with several other Democrats, voted against the House’s resolution Wednesday to support Israel and condemn the Hamas terrorist attacks.
Tlaib released a statement Monday doubling down on the debunked claim that an Israel airstrike killed nearly 500 people at the hospital in Gaza. The congresswoman has yet to delete her initial tweet addressing the bombing.
“Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib wrote in the statement.
“I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel has bombed numerous medical facilities in Gaza and reports from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society of ongoing threats from the Israeli military to evacuate hospitals,” she said.
