I think anybody can agree (aside from MAGA mouth-breathers) that this was a ridiculous attempt to punish free speech by totalitarian fanatics. It's a good thing this measure failed.
Now all that is left to do is eagerly await the whataboutisms from the right.
Greene blasts Republicans who helped tank Tlaib censure
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday railed against the group of Republicans who helped tank a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), arguing they “hide behind excuses.”
“Our country is in the worst crisis in it’s history in every category and the Democrats are full blown communists and Republicans can’t even censure Rashida Tlaib,” Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Conservatives on this list hide behind excuses with their white wigs on and quote the constitution.”
The post was accompanied by a photo of the list of 23 Republicans who voted to kill the resolution.
Greene last week moved to force a vote on the censure resolution in connection with Tlaib’s criticism of Israel in the wake of Hamas’s attacks against the country last month.

The nearly two dozen votes were somewhat of a surprise, as House Republicans have criticized Tlaib in the past for her statements about Israel. Tlaib is the only Palestinian American in Congress.
“They claim the reason they voted with the Democrats to table my censure resolution against Rashida Tlaib is bc her full blown support of Hamas, w/words and actions, is her ‘free speech,’ yet they are unwilling to use Congress’s free speech, which is censure, to condemn her!” Greene wrote in a later post.
Greene’s resolution accused Tlaib of “antisemitic activity” after Tlaib expressed concern over the U.S. supplying arms to Israel and called for “lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.”
The resolution also accused Tlaib of “leading an insurrection” for her participation in an anti-war protest last month at the Capitol that called for a cease-fire in Israel’s war with Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and several other countries.
(MTG whining continues...)
