WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 01: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., talks as US President Joe Biden delivers his first State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress, at the Capitol on March 01, 2022 in Washington, DC. During his first State of the Union address, Biden spoke on his administration’s efforts to lead a global response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, work to curb inflation, and bring the country out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is not giving up on her effort to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).

“I’m reintroducing my censure resolution against Terrorist Tlaib,” Greene wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, over the weekend.

She explained the resolution would no longer accuse the Michigan Democrat of leading an insurrection, a claim that led several Republicans to vote in favor of tabling the initial censure resolution.

Instead, Greene stated, “I am removing ‘insurrection’ and replacing it with ‘illegal occupation’ on Oct 18th that broke the same federal laws as Jan 6 and led to hundreds of arrest and assault on Cap Police.”

I’m reintroducing my censure resolution against Terrorist Tlaib.

I am removing “insurrection” and replacing it with “illegal occupation” on Oct 18th that broke the same federal laws as Jan 6 and led to hundreds of arrest and assault on Cap Police.

She added, “Hopefully the 23 Republicans who voted no to censure Pro-terrorists Pro-Hamas Anti-Israel anti-Semitic Rashida Tlaib will use their freedom of speech in congress to censure (condemn) Terrorist Tlaib’s speech, lies, and actions that incited an illegal occupation on Oct 18th.”

On Wednesday, the House voted 222-186 to table a censure resolution against her.

Twenty-three Republicans voted against it.

Last month, Greene introduced the censure resolution which accused Tlaib of engaging in “antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol complex.”

While the Georgia congresswoman listed a series of comments from Tlaib that she said were antisemitic, she failed to produce evidence of an insurrection.

She appeared to be referring to an Oct. 18 protest at a Capitol Office building. However, there was no evidence it was an insurrection.

And some House Republicans took issue with labeling that protest an insurrection.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) wrote on X, “January 6 protestors were not insurrectionists, nor were those led by Rep. Tlaib. I voted to table a censure resolution of Rep Tlaib in part because it was modeled after legislation that condemned J6 protestors.”

“Also: Free speech means protecting even the speech you don’t like,” he added.

Chip Roy (R-Texas), who also voted against the measure, said Tlaib’s conduct is “unbecoming of a member of Congress and certainly worthy of condemnation – if not censure.”

However, he explained, “Tonight’s feckless resolution to censure Tlaib was deeply flawed and made legally and factually unverified claims, including the claim of leading an ‘insurrection’.”

“I voted to table the resolution. In January 2021, the legal term insurrection was stretched and abused by many following the events at the Capitol. We should not continue to perpetuate claims of ‘insurrection’ at the Capitol and we should not abuse the term now,” he added.
