The GOP-controlled House on Tuesday voted to censure Palestinian-American congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for criticizing Israel, which they hysterically claimed was "supporting genocide" and "hate speech."

Three resolutions were put forward, two from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and one from Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA). Greene's resolution reads like it was written by the Anti-Defamation League and even cites the ADL as a source:

My censure resolution against Rashida Tlaib condemns her incitement of the Oct 18th illegal occupation of the Capitol Complex where hundreds were arrested, as well as her spoken support for genocide of Israel.

Greene got into Congress by running as an "America First" conservative and championing her fight against cancel culture and attacks on free speech but now she's spending her time working to cancel Tlaib for her speech criticizing Israel.

Greene's resolution literally opened with the claim Tlaib "celebrated the Holocaust":

Greene last week called out "antisemites" like Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for voting against her previous resolution to censure Tlaib which failed.

In just a few minutes, the House will vote on a Democrat motion to table (kill) my resolution to CENSURE Rashida Tlaib.

Pay attention to Members who vote with the Democrats to stand with pro-Hamas antisemite, Rashida Tlaib. pic.twitter.com/yIWj93747R

January 6 protestors were not insurrectionists, nor were those led by Rep. Tlaib.

I voted to table a censure resolution of Rep Tlaib in part because it was modeled after legislation that condemned J6 protestors.

Congress tabled Greene's resolution in favor of another one written by fellow Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick that was similarly idiotic.

McCormick's resolution comically said that Tlaib "call[ed] for the destruction of the state of Israel" and claimed "Israel has existed on its lands for millennia."

It also claimed Tlaib "defended the brutal rapes, murders, be-headings, and kidnapping -- including of Americans -- by Hamas."

McCormick's resolution was passed with the support of nearly two dozen AIPAC-funded Democrats.

And here are the four Republicans who voted against censuring Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib:

Rep. Ken Buck - Colorado
Rep. John Duarte - California
Rep. Thomas Massie - Kentucky
Rep. Tom McClintock - California https://t.co/Is7NwaT1Ux

Nothing says "America First" like working together with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL) to censure one of the only critics of Israel in Congress!

Between the years 1890 and 2020, a grand total of 8 members of Congress were censured, mostly for financial malfeasance. Since 2021 there have been 3 members of Congress censured. 2/3 of have either been for posting memes online, or saying made-up "dangerous" stuff about Israel pic.twitter.com/eM9QDrpxut

One of the Lowest IQ members of Congress, Derrick Van Orden (R-WI), declares: "The Founding Fathers did not envision Twitter, but the Nuremberg Tribunals decided that genocide in fact is a felony"

He says a new Holocaust is unfolding and a censure resolution is needed to stop it pic.twitter.com/znXcgaHooA

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) says when it comes to his censure resolution punishing "hate speech" related to Israel, "You're talkin' to a Marine," and therefore he knows his resolution has nothing to do with punishing speech. He confirmed this by consulting with the Intel Committee pic.twitter.com/imT626BUbw

All these anti-cancel culture conservatives who reject identity politics when it comes to representing their own voters become crying, hysterical SJWs demanding "hate speech" laws and "safe spaces" when the issue is criticizing Israel.

Greene was hilariously community noted on X over the weekend for lying to the American people by claiming that "not one single American dollar has been spent on" Israel's war against Gaza.

"[Greene's claim that] 'not one single American dollar [has been spent on Israel's war]' is false, since WW2, US has given Israel ~$260b in aid, much of it went to military," the community-based fact check stated. "Plus another $10b for their Iron Dome defense system (which they are currently using at this war)."

Israel is literally dominating in their war with Hamas after being brutally attacked killing thousands of innocent people, and not one single American dollar has been spent on that war yet.

Just think about that.

The GOP is a national embarrassment.
