House censures Rashida Tlaib over anti-Israel comments

The House censured Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her pro-Palestinian comments concerning the conflict in Israel, making her the second Democratic lawmaker this year to be condemned by her colleagues.

Lawmakers voted 234-188 to censure Tlaib, punishing the Michigan Democrat for “promoting false narratives” about the Oct. 7 attack against Israel by the Hamas militant group and allegedly calling for the “destruction of the state of Israel.” The resolution passed after 22 Democrats joined nearly all Republicans in supporting the measure, overcoming opposition that stalled a similar motion to censure Tlaib last week. Only four Republicans voted against the measure.
