In an exclusive revelation, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, has announced her intention to introduce a resolution to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan.
Greene accuses Tlaib, a member of the progressive "Squad," of engaging in "antisemitic activity" and "sympathizing with terrorist organizations."
"The [Democratic] Party has done nothing to hold her accountable. They've done nothing to rein her in, and no one else here has done it. And so I thought it was right to list examples of this isn't just new. This isn't a one-off thing. This is exactly who she is," Greene declared to Fox News Digital.
The accusation stems from Tlaib's alleged leadership of a pro-Palestinian protest on Capitol Hill last week. The demonstration, attended by hundreds, called for a cease-fire following a deadly incursion by the terror group Hamas from the Palestinian exclave of Gaza into southern Israel on October 7. The attack resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians and triggered an ongoing response from the Israeli military.
Tlaib, who addressed the crowd during the protest, has been criticized for her comments blaming Israel for bombing a hospital in Gaza. Despite multiple intelligence agencies suggesting that the explosion resulted from a misfired Hamas rocket, Tlaib has not retracted her statement.
In her resolution, Greene referred to the protest as "an insurrection." She also cited Tlaibs endorsement of a slogan used by Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and her previous statements labeling Israel as "an apartheid government."
When questioned about the Republican response to her censure motion, Greene confidently stated, "I think we will have every single Republican vote with us for this central resolution." She expressed surprise at the possibility of the left not supporting the resolution, stating, "It would be shocking to me if they didn't vote for it."
Greene also demanded an investigation into Tlaibs support of the cease-fire protest by multiple House panels. "It should [have] a House Ethics investigation. [The House Administration Committee] should be investigating it. I think the Department of Justice, FBI should be investigating, even possibly the CIA," she asserted.
