Marjorie Taylor Greene Gets Democrat Support to Punish Rashida Tlaib

Source: Newsweek

A Democratic congressman is supporting Republicans who want to censure lawmakers they claim have been openly brazen with antisemitic rhetoric and false claims about Israeli aggression.

Florida Representative Jared Moskowitz, who is Jewish, told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday that Democrats, including Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib, should be censured once a new House speaker is chosen.

A resolution was introduced Tuesday by Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, who called Tlaib an "Israel hating America hating woman who does not represent anything America stands for."

I am deeply disappointed in Moskowitz fraternizing with the enemy, especially MTG. There should be no penalty to question motivation like Rep Tlaib did, no matter if she is on the wrong.

And Moskowitz--no matter how strongly he feels about this--will regret having had any dealings with MTG. On that I am certain.

But not a right to one's own facts.

When she posted what, by most accounts, appears to be a false claim about the hospital bombing, that's not an opinion. It's just being wrong.

I don't think censure is even remotely warranted here, but jumping to conclusions sometimes comes with consequences. I don't think it's out of line to expect our elected representatives to avoid doing that.

the J6 traitor has undermined our country every day she floated to the top.

If someone is going to call out Rep Tlaib for her comments, at least let it be someone who isn't invested in dismantling our government.

but it should read "gets Democratic support". Why it doesn't should shame their copy editors.

Because, she "REALLY don't trust them Jews," with her racist, anti-Semitic ass.

No way I'd ever team up with a filthy, disgusting, philandering, fascist klanswoman. But that's on Moskowitz who he teams up with. Hopefully no other Dems follow suit.
