(Hill) Two Georgia Republicans moved to force votes on competing resolutions to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Monday, putting a spotlight on the internal disagreements over how to penalize Tlaib for her criticisms of Israel following Hamas’s deadly attack on the U.S. ally.
Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) called their censure measures to the floor as privileged resolutions Monday, forcing the chamber to take action within two legislative days. Leadership can either motion to table the resolution or bring it to the floor for a vote.
The rival resolutions come after Tlaib was at the center of controversy over the weekend for posting a video on X that said President Biden “supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” and included the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which the Anti-Defamation League cites as antisemitic. She has received bipartisan criticism for using the saying.
