(Hill) The House voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Tuesday night, rebuking the Michigan Democrat for her criticism of Israel following Hamas’s unprecedented attack on the U.S. ally.
The chamber approved the reprimand in a 234-188-4 vote, with 22 Democrats bucking party leadership to support the resolution, and four Republicans voting against it.
The vote is the culmination of a week-plus effort by Republicans to punish Tlaib — the only Palestinian American serving in Congress — for comments critical of Israel that have drawn condemnation from both sides of the aisle.
And it marks the pinnacle of the current controversy surrounding Tlaib.
