Republicans Introduce a Censure Resolution Condemning ‘Squad’ Members
Jacob Bliss 14 Jun 2021
A group of Republicans will introduce a censure resolution to condemn and censure the so-called “Squad” members for “defending foreign terrorist organizations and using rhetoric which contributed to anti-Semitic attacks across the United States.”
The group led by Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL), along with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), are looking to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and other “Squad” members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).
The censure resolution says the “Squad” members have defended “foreign terrorist organizations and inciting anti-Semitic attacks across the United States” and attacked Israel, including referring to the Jewish state as an ‘‘apartheid state.”
In addition, the group of Republicans wrote in the resolution that Tlaib has accused the Israeli government of “ethnic cleansing” against Palestinians, and claimed Israel was “promoting racism and dehumanization.”
The resolution mentions Omar calling the “Israel’s military response to Hamas’s strikes was ‘an act of terrorism’ rather than an act of self defense,” while accusing the United States of “backing crimes against humanity.”
At the same time, Ocasio-Cortez claimed the military response from Israel is “inhumane” and committing “human rights abuses.”
