Republicans help torpedo resolution to censure Rep. Tlaib over Israel criticism
The Hill ^ | 11/01/23 7:12 PM ET | BY MIKE LILLIS AND MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Posted on 11/01/2023 7:10:43 PM PDT by RandFan

House lawmakers voted Wednesday to torpedo a resolution censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her harsh criticisms of Israel in the wake of Hamas’s deadly attacks last month.

The effort required 23 Republicans, joined by all Democrats, to vote in favor of a procedural motion that blocked the disciplinary resolution from reaching the floor. The final tally was 222 to 186.

The vote was something of a surprise: Tlaib, a staunch liberal who’s been harshly critical of Israel, has few fans in the GOP when it comes to Middle Eastern politics. It’s unclear why several Republicans came to her rescue during Wednesday’s vote.

The censure resolution — sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) — had accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” for her participation in an anti-war protest last month at the Capitol, organized by Jewish groups, which featured scores of arrests.

If you want to know why some GOPers voted against it was to do with it being modeled on legislation used to condemn Jan 6th protests.

Some also cite Free Speech (even when you dont like it).

How Islam progressively takes over countries By Mark Ellis
https://www.godreports.com ^ | September 23, 2015 | Mark Ellis
Posted on 10/11/2023, 8:13:10 AM by mabarker1

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.”

I would just like someone to point out to me where it says in the US constitution that foreign terrorists must be represented in congress. When did this happen?

“It’s unclear why several Republicans came to her rescue during Wednesday’s vote.”

They were following orders like good little nottsies.

I never thought I’d ever see “Republicans” take the side of a Jew-hating, Muzzie terrorist.
