Democrat Demands Tlaib Censure Over Israel Remarks
Clear Facts:
- Florida Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz calls for potential censure of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her Israel statements.
- Tlaib made claims that were later disputed by U.S. intelligence.
- Moskowitz emphasized the importance of trusting U.S. intelligence over Hamas.
A Florida Democrat has thrown his weight behind calls for the House to take disciplinary action against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). Why? Her remarks concerning Israel which have stirred up a hornet’s nest in the political arena.
On Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” Kayleigh McEnany brought forward Tlaib’s contentious statement: “Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary.”
Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. @POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.
Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many… https://t.co/mZYoifT7bj— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) October 17, 2023
Notably, Tlaib further escalated the issue by tweeting an unverified claim about an Israeli attack on a hospital, alleging a death toll of 500 Palestinians.
McEnany didn’t mince her words when she confronted Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) on the matter.
She posed, “You know, Congressman Moskowitz, you tweeted that your Democratic colleagues who blamed Israel should take down their post and Ilhan Omar did that. However, far from taking down the post, Rashida Tlaib is doubling down. Should there be some sort of punishment?”
Moskowitz’s response was telling: “Look, Congress is unified in its support of Israel. I continue to be disappointed in members of Congress who are not willing to listen to U.S. intelligence and listen to the Biden administration, who have said Israel had nothing to do with the issue that happened in the parking lot of the hospital. Let’s remember, the hospital wasn’t hit. The hospital is still there. It’s the parking lot of the hospital.”
He did not hold back in his criticism.
“That was the first lie that was told. The second lie that was told was that over 500 people died there. There’s no proof of that. And the third lie that was told was that it was Israel. All of those things have turned out to be inaccurate.”
Turning the discussion toward potential actions against Tlaib, McEnany inquired about Congress’s power to censure, reprimand, or punish members.
Moskowitz firmly stated, “Oh, listen, I think once we get a House speaker here, I think that censure resolution will come to the floor. And I do think it’s something that everyone should consider. This is about U.S. intelligence. This is about not willing to trust the Biden administration and U.S. intelligence, but instead continuing to pretend like the Ministry of Health out of Gaza is nothing other than a terrorist organization telling people what we want to hear.”
Highlighting the dangers of this narrative, Moskowitz lamented the media’s role and the antisemitic undertones he perceived, saying, “It’s been disgusting, what happened in that hospital issue with the media was disgusting, it exposed all sorts of antisemitism.”
He continued, “Why does there continue to be a double standard when it comes to Israel? We know why: It’s because people are anti-Semitic in the world.”
McEnany, nodding in agreement, simply replied, “They are.”

All three of the so called “squad” should be thrown out of congress. They are also the ones who hate America and what we stand for in the world.

Now that Republicans have finally gotten a new House Speaker, censoring or ousting Tlaib is a good beginning on what they need to accomplish.

Rep. Tlaib needs to be EXPELLED from Congress and deported to the mid east so she can be with her terrorist friends. We do not need the likes of her and her colleague Omar are not who and what they say they are. They both took an oath to defend against our enemies both foreign and domestic and they are only supportive of their colleagues of their heritage nations.
They have no love for this country, only love for their heritage country and their people. They do not hold sentiment for Israel and it’s people. They need to be ousted from Congress and not allowed to remain in this country that they so blatantly have no love for.

All of the squad need to be deported. Omar, Tliab, Ocasio-Cortez and whom ever else spouts “untruthful crap” should not be allowed in the US Congress. They are all anti-American and should NEVER be in our congress.

Yes, there does need to be some form of restriction on what people say about Israel that are lies. Israel has the right to defend itself, it does not have the right to `ofend’ itself against innocent civilians. Hamas is made up of Palestinians, but not all Palestinians are Hamas. The held an election and forced the population to vote for Hamas as their governing authority. I wish the Palestinians were strong enough to take on Hamas. However, Israel does not have the moral right to attack innocent civilians. I know it is hard to determine who is Hamas and who is innocent. Let’s bring the women and children out of Gaza and give them a fighting chance. Let Israel treat for medical needs all those who need it who are children and their mothers. Stop killing, stop killing! As for the 2.1 million refugees. I think that Russia will take them in as it is the only way for Russia to redeem itself in the eyes of the world. As far as the new speaker of the house is concerned….the first thing I did is a background check to find out when his term is up,…he is up for re-election in Nov 2024. I immediately wrote a large check to the Democratic Party to send to any of his opponents. Apparently there a five congressmen from Lousianna and only one of them is a democrat. That needs to be fixed and I will not stop until all of the republicans are underwater. They do not know how to govern and are so busy fighting amonst themselves they are not working for the American people. I propose that there will be a blue wave in November of 2024: young people, women and intelligent people of color will vote democratic. I’m not worried about Biden’s age, he is intelligent and certainly more on the ball than Gaetz. 🙂

One of the dumbest letters I have seen written. You don’t like Johnson just because he is a Republican? At least he is honest which is more than Pelosi was as speaker. And you think Biden is qualified to be Pres.? Biden has taken bribes from foreign countries and is guilty of bribery(one of the impeachable offenses) and is a traitor to this country. He has sold out to the Chinese Communist Party which he and his family have taken millions of dollars from and also to the Iranians who hate our guts. You are an example of people who are too stupid to vote. BTW, where are the “intelligent women and people of color”?? There are none and you’re a joke.

Stop drinking the kool aid Larry! The demonrats got us into this mess with the cadaver they installed in the White House illegally! Biden is far from intelligent, he talks out both sides of his mouth! He is following the Soros/Obama agenda like he agreed to do so obama could have his third term through the old fool. We must stand behind Israel, no matter what you and your anti semitic friends say! One question, WHY do you hate Israel so much? What has Israel done to you personally to garner such hatred? God gave the Israelites the lands in dispute, the boundaries are clearly laid out in the Bible! Read it yourself, IF you even own a Bible, which is doubtful. Or, are you a Muslim in disguise? We would all like to know.
