Highlights: The vote was something of a surprise: Tlaib, a staunch liberal whoās been harshly critical of Israel, has few fans in the GOP when it comes to Middle Eastern politics. Itās unclear why several Republicans came to her rescue during Wednesdayās vote.
The censure resolution ā sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) ā had accused Tlaib of āleading an insurrectionā for her participation in an anti-war protest last month at the Capitol, organized by Jewish groups, which featured scores of arrests.
Pro-Israel Democrats, who might have been inclined to censure Tlaibās comments, had hammered Greene for her inaccurate characterization of a peace protest ā albeit a rowdy one ā and for sensationalizing Tlaibās role in orchestrating it. They were also leery that Greeneās āinsurrectionistā language had trivialized the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Trump.
You think the president of the united states, the head of the executive branch and the military, who makes endless decisions that directly steer our nation all day long, should directly and overly concern himself with a single lunatic house member who endorsed qanon and jewish space lasers? A person whose brand is based on high profile conflict? The president should ignore his duties to engage with her, to directly empower and boost her brand with her base, for what possible gain?
No, itās not his job at all to slap down an errant house member. Im sure his press secretary has many times though, as dealing with lunatic comments is part of their direct role. Why havent you prasied them for their work handling her?

Yāall really want the president to argue with every crazy motherfucker that wants his spotlight, huh?
Shouldnāt he be doing a sit down with Tucker Carlson, go on Bannons podcast? Hit up the OAN circuit? Maybe go on some āskepticā YouTuber channels? They are all crazy terrorist supporters, so he needs to go toe to toe with them nonstop too, right?
MTG is a piece of shit that got her start in politics by stalking and harrasing the parkland survivors. Engaging with her is exactly what gives her power. Why are you so insistent the most powerful person on earth, who has way more fucking important things to do than argue with loons, go and give her his spotlight?
