Censure Vote on Rashida Tlaib Divides House

The House voted to table a censure resolution against Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her comments and actions related to the Israel-Gaza war. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, accused Tlaib of antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of the House, called the resolution "unhinged" and "deeply Islamophobic." Another resolution against Greene was also expected to be voted on but was pulled from consideration. Censure is a formal vote of disapproval, and stripping committee assignments is sometimes attached to the punishment.
