Rep. Rashida Tlaib is facing a push to censure her in the House of Representatives after she denounced Israel amid an ongoing assault by Hamas terrorists.
Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., plans to introduce a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her 'long history of making anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks.' Bergman will formally introduce the move later Wednesday, Fox News Digital has learned. The lawmaker blasted his fellow Michigan representative for her reaction to this weekend's unprecedented attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists, which left at least 1,200 Israelis dead and thousands more wounded.
One day after a series of coordinated attacks on Israel perpetrated by Hamas terrorists and leaving more Jews dead than any single day since the Holocaust, Congresswoman Tlaib issued a statement calling Israel an apartheid state and insinuating the United States should end its support for the State of Israel,' Bergman's resolution charges.
Tlaib's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In addition to censuring Tlaib, the resolution would reaffirm the House of Representative's support for Israel and reject the notion that it is an 'apartheid' state. Tlaib also came under fire this week for flying a Palestinian flag outside her Capitol Hill office. The flag has been there since at least January, but observers were outraged the flag remained following Saturday's attack.
The House is currently in disarray following the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Republicans are scrambling to nominate a new speaker. The top candidates for the role are Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Scalise already serves as Majority Leader in the House, though Jordan has been endorsed by former President Trump. McCarthy has withdrawn his name from contention.
