WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has filed a resolution that would censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her criticism of Israel and accusing her of recently inciting an insurrection in a House office building.

The measure would censure Tlaib for “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex," Greene said in remarks on the House floor on Thursday morning.

Greene has described a rally on Oct. 18 at the Capitol calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war as an insurrection. During the event, hundreds of demonstrators entered the Cannon House Office building, causing U.S. Capitol Police to temporarily close access to the building. Capitol Police estimated that they arrested roughly 300 protestors, including three people who were charged with assault on a police officer.

A spokesperson for Capitol Police said that to the best of their knowledge, everyone went through security and entered the building the proper way. House and Senate Office Buildings are open to the public, but people must be screened by magnetometers. The protest was loud and disruptive, but incomparable to the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, during which rioters stormed the building and more than 1,100 people were ultimately charged. Greene has defended them and former President Donald Trump as he's faced accusations of inciting the attack.

This loon had been stripped of her Committee assignments back in 2021 due to her threats of assassination of Democratic leaders. When the GOP took over, that all got swept under the rug.

14. Why does she always remind me of a Moai?

[ificandream]

15. Tlaib ought to file a censure resolution against Empty Greene. She would have at least a dozen reasons.

[getagrip_already]

16. Didnt hear about the protests...

Was talebi a leader? Were police assaulted? Was there any violence?

Peaceful protests are one thing, but id be pissed if this was more of a resiting police situation and she was in the middle of it.

Again, first im hearing of it, but there were people charged with assault. So it wasnt entirely peaceful.

17. This reminds me of something I learned from my old Granddaddy.

Back many decades ago when I was a strapping young teenaged farmboy in rural Mississippi, we -- as did everyone else -- raised pigs. Pigs were fundamental to our life. A few adult pigs could produce a lot of little piglets who over the course of a spring and summer, grew to killing size after which they provided us with a variety of delicacies -- pork chops, chitlins, ribs . . .

One of the few forms of entertainment we young fellows had was wrassling with pigs. A few of use would descend on the pig pen, pick out an old pig who was minding his/her own business, and proceed to wrassle with the harmless beast.

My old Granddaddy (1896-1972) had dropped out of school in the 8th grade to support his siblings after the deaths of his father and mother. Still, he was an avid reader -- the train stopped in our nearby rural town several times a day, allowing him to subscribe to the newspapers from Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Jackson. He was a member of the Book-of-the-Month Club (is there still such a thing?) and his children gave him books on birthdays, anniversaries, and for no particular reason. He subscribed to Look, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post. When TV arrived, he avoided it, opting instead for his old AM radio so he could listen to Walter Winchell and Gabriel Heater.

One day, after a few of us had delighted ourselves -- but not the pigs -- with a session of pig wrasslin', Granddad pulled us up short. "You boys stop wrasslin' with the pigs. When you wrassle with a pig, everybody gets dirty but you don't solve a damn thing."

Whenever I hear MTG release another of her brain farts, I am reminded of Granddad's advice and I make no comment about her babbling. Responding to her is like wrasslin' with a pig.

21. What a great story, reminds me of my grandfather, who was born/died around

the same time as yours. He also was a farmer... they had pigs, cattle, chickens. I still remember the chicken house, multiple rows of hay beds next to each other, gathering the eggs daily. And yeah, when it was time for dinner, the unlucky one would have their head on the chopping block, and I still remember the minute or so when the chopped-off head would roam around, apparently looking for its body. In retrospect it sounds rather gross, but at the time, under those circumstances, it was what it was. And I still eat chicken, so to criticize such would be hypocritical on my part.

23. LUV your grandad's saying! It is American country eloquence for these times. I hope you don't mind if I use it.

18. It's no coincidence that she is facing punishment of her own.

19. Republicans are always projecting. nt

[live love laugh]

20. When did Tlaib's insurrection happen? We know MTGs was January 6.

[JohnSJ]

31. I don't think she knows the definition of insurrection. It would be good if Democrats give her an example,

like January 6th, and point out those Congress members that supported those insurrectionists

[ancianita]

22. Her angry, spiteful projection -- to criminalize every single flaw or mistake a Democrat makes.

[twodogsbarking]

24. We have Taylor Swift and Marjorie Taylor Notsoswift.

27. Another 👍

25. That's rich coming from her.

30. MTG has to be one of the most stupid jackasses that ever occupied the House.

[Ohioboy]

34. Marg needs to look up the definition of insurrection
