Carter introduces resolution censuring Tlaib for antisemitic comments, cheering on terrorism

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today introduced a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for her disgusting remarks at the People’s Conference for Palestine, an antisemitic conference that cheered on terrorism against the state of Israel and Jewish people and called for the United States to be neutralized. 


In her comments, she vilified her colleagues for standing with our ally, Israel, used profanities, and endangered the lives of Jewish people by celebrating a terrorist regime.


“Tlaib’s vile, blatant antisemitism is a scourge on this Congress, and she must be held accountable. Her conduct is beneath that of a civilized person, let alone a member of Congress. I am calling on the House of Representatives to censure her remarks and put democrats on notice for enabling and cheering on antisemitism in their own party,” 
said Rep. Carter.


These remarks follow a pattern of antisemitic comments from Rep. Tlaib, who has a history of promoting false, antisemitic narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and has called for the destruction of the state of Israel and its people.
