Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene reintroduced a measure to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her comments related to Israel, altering the bill’s original language in an attempt to win over some House Republicans who previously voted to table the measure.
A total of 23 Republicans joined all Democrats in voting to table the measure, effectively killing it before it could be considered for a vote. Greene later vowed to reintroduce the measure, changing the term “insurrection” to read “illegal occupation” instead. The legislation was also updated to include the latest backlash toward Tlaib over the weekend after she posted a video in which she accused President Joe Biden of supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people.” The video features pro-Palestinian protesters marching in cities across the country chanting “From the river to the sea,” referring to the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River that includes Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Some Democrats have pointed to instances in which anti-Israel organizations, such as Hamas, have used the phrase to advocate the dismantling of the Jewish state.
