Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has a history of divisive remarks and toxic behavior, but on Wednesday the House of Representatives nevertheless voted down a resolution to censure her for her antisemitic rants and her cheering on of an “insurrection" at the Capitol.
Almost two dozen Republicans joined every single House Democrat in voting to table the resolution and give Tlaib, a member of the progressive "Squad," a pass. The final tally was 222-186. Democrats broke out into applause after the vote, because that's who they are. Many Dems have been largely silent on the myriad recent incidents of antisemitism and pro-Hamas rhetoric coming from the House to college campuses to the streets of our cities.
The resolution was sponsored by Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who had earlier Wednesday expressed hopes for its success on social media. She also posted a series of appearances and statements that showed Tlaib spouting anti-Israel rhetoric:
Tonight, the House will vote on my resolution to censure Jihad Squad member and leader of the Hamasurrection Rashida Tlaib.
Tlaib must be censured for her anti-American, antisemitic hatred.
I hope every member of the House, R or D, votes to hold this behavior accountable. pic.twitter.com/vIfcXWvmha— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) November 1, 2023
"I mean I really think it's important to understand that Israel is a racist state," Tlaib charges in one clip. "This [Israel] is an apartheid system," she says in another. Also shown is Tlaib riling up a charged crowd in front of the Capitol. I thought that was supposed to be "a danger to democracy" in the eyes of Democrats?
Greene lashed out at her fellow Republicans who voted against the resolution, calling them "feckless":
List of feckless Republicans that voted WITH Democrats to table my censure resolution against Rashida Tlaib.
This is why Republicans NEVER do anything to stop the communists Democrats or ever hold anyone accountable!!
PATHETIC.

She also aired her disgust with Democrats, writing:
Must be great to be a Democrat. They all stick together to destroy our country and cover up each others lies and stand unified to protect Tlaib - Hamas Caucus. But Republicans just join Democrats and vote to destroy our country and our party.
Rep. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) explained that he voted against the resolution because he believes in free speech, even if he disagreed with Tlaib's rhetoric:
"As much as I disagree with previous comments made by Rep. Tlaib, First Amendment liberties are for every American, and I will support this constitutional right, whether the speaker is on the political left or right and whether they are speaking heinous lies or harsh truths," Walberg said.
"When we hear evil speech, we should not look to the government for the answer but rather speak up as individuals to denounce it."
There are arguments on both sides, but the real way to censure Toxic Tlaib is to vote her out of office in 2024. Michiganders, send her packing and let her take her antisemitism somewhere else.

Where is the RINO miscreant list?
Shirley these retards are proud of their vote and need public promotion.
PRIMARY all of them. And for those that live in their district....let them know you will make it your MISSION in life to vote them out of office.
POST their names on every state board so that everyone can get a piece of their a$$.
The resolution was poorly crafted and MTG is hardly the person to drive this successfully. Seriously, wtf?
Of course Tlaib is richly deserving of the censure. I lived for 11 years in the district she represents. Not too long ago in fact. She was grinding as an activist trying to carve out her niche. She’s a bigot thru and thru.
But she’s also a hard worker that keeps a close eye on her district. If she spots a local issue she thinks she can make some hay on she will work it. She doesn’t take her office for granted. On pure IQ she’s a lot brighter than her Squad colleagues. She’s also consumed by hatred. Its what motivates her.
Lot of folks link her to Dearborn. Culturally she’s closer to Dearborn Heights. There’s a difference.

How Islam progressively takes over countries By Mark Ellis

In Dr. Peter Hammond’s book, “Slavery, Terrorism and Islam,” he documents the way Muslims slowly develop a presence in various countries and as their population numbers build, become more aggressive and assertive about exercising Sharia law.
“Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life,” Dr. Hammond notes in his book. “Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.”

Sheep in wolves clothing. All bluster no testicular fortitude. Likey pro Palestine too. 🖕
🙏🇺🇲🇮🇱👍
Cowards forgot about 9/11. The bass turds have joined the Muzzie terrorists.
So, does this mean Israel did low up the hospital?
This has nothing to do with free speech.
They didn’t forget. They just agree that some people did something.
Correct! What are their names?
Bullshit! They are siding with Hamas via their vote.

Dear God,
Well, our politicians failed us again. Now we ask YOU to take care of this.
Please do so in a way that lets everyone know it was Your doing.
Yeah. Let’s primary people with a 80+ conservative voting record
That’ll teach em
I don’t care what % they carried into this vote. This was INEXCUSABLE. So yes, they need to be taught a lesson.
Congressmen CANNOT be allowed to lie and manipulate, using their position in government.
There’s our Republican majority.
