In Bipartisan Vote, House Censures Rashida Tlaib

Rebecca Downs / Townhall Tipsheet

 

On Tuesday evening, hours after the House voted against tabling the motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the chamber formally voted to do just that. The vote was initially supposed to be on Wednesday, but was moved to Tuesday night not long before it took place. In a bipartisan vote of 234-188, the House voted to censure Tlaib for her anti-semitic and anti-Israel remarks following the October 7 terrorist attack that Hamas perpetrated against Israel. Twenty-two Democrats crossed the aisle to vote to censure one of their own. 

 

The Democrats who crossed the aisle included Reps. Steve Cohen (TN), Jim Costa (CA), Angie Craig (MN), Don Davis (NC), Lois Frankel (FL), Jared Golden (ME), Dan Goldman (D-NY), Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Greg Landsman (OH), Susie Lee (NV), Kathy Manning (NC), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Wiley Nickel (NC), Chris Pappas (NH), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Pat Ryan (NY), Brad Schneier (IL), Kim Schrier (WA), Darren Soto (FL), Ritchie Torres (NY), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), and Frederica Wilson (FL).

 

There were four Republicans who voted with the majority of Democrats, however, including Reps. Ken Buck (CO), John Duarte (CA), Thomas Massie (KY), and Tom McClintock (CA). Read more, see Xs and video here.
