House Censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib for Defending Hamas, Calling to Destroy Israel; Tlaib Fights Censure with Lies: Her False Statements are in Accord With the jihadi Playbook; What Does It Mean If Someone Is Censured?

House censures Rep. Rashida Tlaib for defending Hamas, calling to destroy Israel:

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

Tlaib (D-Mich.) 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, apparently was moved up after death threats were called in to the office of Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.), the congressman who introduced the resolution.

“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 a post on X.

McCormick’s resolution passed 234-188, with four members voting present.

Twenty-two Democrats voted with 212 Republicans to censure Tlaib, while four Republicans voted with 184 Democrats against the resolution.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) withdrew a separate censure resolution against Tlaib, telling reporters Tuesday that she was “not going to be part of a competing censure resolution because leadership failed to organize it.” —>READ MORE HERE

Tlaib Fights Censure with Lies:

Her false statements are in accord with the jihadi playbook.

Facing censure in the House of Representatives over her antisemitism and thinly veiled support for Hamas, the Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) is fighting back using a strategy that Islamic spokesmen in the West have frequently favored over the years: she’s lying. This shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone: in the book that those spokesmen and Tlaib consider to be holy, lying to infidels is specifically allowed for when one is cornered. And if anyone is cornered right now, it’s Rashida Tlaib.

CNN reported that “The House voted Tuesday to advance a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib after a Democratic effort to block the measure failed, setting up an expected vote on final passage of the resolution Wednesday.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), who on Monday reintroduced into the House a resolution to censure her flamethrowing far-Left colleague, wrote on X that it was for Tlaib’s “antisemitism, spreading Pro-Hamas propaganda, and inciting an illegal occupation in the Capitol complex.” Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Georgia) also introduced a resolution to censure Tlaib.

In a statement on the censure resolutions, Tlaib insisted: “I have repeatedly denounced the horrific targeting and killing of civilians by Hamas and the Israeli government, and have mourned the Israeli and Palestinian lives lost.” It is important to note that this is not actually a denunciation of Hamas, which Tlaib has never denounced, but only of “the horrific targeting and killing of civilians” by both “Hamas and the Israeli government,” as if the two were equivalent when one deliberately targets civilians and puts them in harm’s way and the other takes extraordinary measures to avoid civilian casualties.

So even Tlaib’s criticism of Hamas’ actions on Oct. 7 is watered down by her absurd moral equivalence of Hamas with the Israeli government. Beyond that, however, where exactly were these instances of Tlaib repeatedly denouncing Hamas for murdering Israeli civilians? On Oct. 8, the day after Hamas murdered over 1,400 Israeli civilians in one of the bloodiest, most savage jihad massacres of modern times, Tlaib led off her statement with the same moral equivalence: “I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day.” Then she launched into a series of thinly veiled indictments of Israel: “I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity. The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.” About Hamas’ targeting of civilians she said absolutely nothing, and, in fact, didn’t even mention the jihad terror group at all. —>READ MORE FROM ROBERT SPENCER HERE
