NBC News reports:
House lawmakers will vote Wednesday on a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the sole Palestinian American in Congress, over her controversial remarks and actions in response to the Israel-Hamas war. The censure resolution, authored by Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., cleared a procedural hurdle on Tuesday afternoon. The House rejected a motion to set aside or “table” McCormick’s resolution, on a 208-213 vote, setting it up for a final vote Wednesday.
McCormick’s privileged resolution would censure Tlaib, D-Mich., for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.” Later Tuesday night, the House will also hold a procedural vote on a competing resolution to censure Tlaib sponsored by another Georgia Republican, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
