Nov 7, 2023
On Tuesday, Rep. Ayanna Presley (D-MA) attacked the House GOP for their motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for her remarks on the Hamas-Israel conflict during deliberations on the House floor.

1. I don't think it is great she has accused President Biden of being a genocide supporter.

[Pasta 1]

2. What's religion connection?

In the debate? Who attacked Tlaib for her islam?
It sounds like a cheap gimmiick to shield Rashida Tlaib's bigotry.

3. In my opinion, Tlaib's blatant stupidity made her vulnerable to be censorsed.

I don't see the religious connection here.

[malaise]

4. She is correct

5. Yeah, And I Wonder What Newly Minted Young Progressive Voters Think Of This

We can't afford to lose ANYBODY for the 2024 Election.

7. All she had to was put the blame where it was on hamas!

Not president Biden. Had she not bashed the president in such a horrible way, at least the 22 democratic house members wouldn’t have voted to censure her. She’s the 26th member in history to be censored. I just hope she learned not to bash our president.

8. I'm just going to assume those supporting her in the thread also agree with her comments about Biden.

6. I find it difficult to have a lot of sympathy for her after she... let me check my notes here...

Spread Hamas-supporting disinformation (al-Ahli hospital explosion), refused to walk it back or retract it even after she was proven demonstrably wrong, and slandered President Biden by accusing him of supporting genocide.

Oh, and she's another one trying to gaslight us about what "from the river to the sea" really means. It is not a peaceful call for liberation, freedom, and coexistence. It's a call for the outright destruction of the state of Israel and the founding of a Palestinian state on its ashes. It's blatantly anti-Semitic.

Sorry, Reps. Tlaib and Presley, not buying what you're selling here. The only thing Tlaib is a victim of is her own mouth.

[Sympthsical]

9. Yeah, but we all saw this coming

And all I have in response is the full Liz Lemon.

10. Id fully support her censure if she was an anglo christian too, its the words not her race or religion,

Id support the censure of any member of congress using that language regardless of what side of the aisle they were on
