House Censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib Over Defense of Hamas, Calls To Destroy Israel

The House of Representatives voted Tuesday night to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for defending Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack against Israel as “resistance” and calling for the destruction of the Jewish state.

Tlaib is the 26th member of Congress to be censured by the House in the legislative body’s history.

The censure vote, initially scheduled for Wednesday, was apparently moved up after Rep. Rich McCormick’s (R-Ga.) office – the congressman who introduced the resolution – received death threats.

“I take the safety of my team seriously. I am temporarily closing my physical district office location in Cumming, GA due to serious threats of violence against my staff. These threats have been reported to Capitol Police and will be investigated fully,” McCormick said in an X post.

McCormick’s resolution passed in a 234-188 vote, with four members voting present. (Read more from “House Censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib Over Defense of Hamas, Calls To Destroy Israel” HERE)
