The House could vote as soon as Wednesday to censure Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY). It's now been a week since Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was selected for the role, with much to be done in the House. As the House considers priorities such as funding Ukraine and Israel, as well as such resolutions, Fox News' Chad Pergram posted an update about the latter on Wednesday morning.
Greene filed a resolution to censure Tlaib for anti-semitic remarks and encouraging the pro-Hamas activists that stormed the Cannon House building last week after she gave remarks doubling down on lies about Israel. Tlaib had claimed and tripled down on the narrative that Israeli rockets hit a hospital in Gaza, despite intelligence confirming it was misfired terrorist rockets. She didn't update her X post until over a week later, and has been defiant against action she says makes her feel "policed." She's also categorized the censure as "deeply Islamophobic."
It's not only fellow Democrats--especially those also in the Squad members--and mainstream media pundits like CNN's Jake Tapper defending Tlaib. It's also some Republican House members doing so, as Guy has highlighted.
