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.
The GOP is becoming irrelevant and some of their reps actually might give a fuck about how things are going.
