RAISING A QUESTION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE
Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of the
privileges of the House and offer the resolution that was previously
noticed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the resolution.
The Clerk read as follows:
H. Res. 829
Whereas in May 2019, Rashida Tlaib said that she celebrated
the Holocaust, and felt a ``calming feeling'' when thinking
about the genocide of millions of Jews;
Whereas in 2020, Rashida Tlaib retweeted an illustration
with the caption, ``From the river to the sea, Palestine will
be free'', and this Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)
slogan has been adopted by Hamas and calls for the
elimination of Israel and the death of all Jews;
Whereas in September 2022, Rashida Tlaib, as a member of
the Congressional Progressive Caucus, displayed her disdain
for Israel, saying, ``You cannot claim to hold progressive
values yet back Israel's apartheid government.'';
Whereas instead of denouncing the horrors of Hamas
slaughtering Israelis and demanding the release of all
hostages held by Hamas, Rashida Tlaib stated on October 8,
2023, ``The path to the future must include lifting the
blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the
apartheid system that creates the suffocating dehumanizing
conditions that can lead to resistance.'';
Whereas Rashida Tlaib exhibited her hatred for America by
reposting a message on October 12, 2023, blaming America for
allowing the deaths of Palestinian babies at the hands of
Israel;
Whereas Rashida Tlaib led an insurrection at the United
States Capitol Complex on October 18, 2023, which put Members
of Congress, their staffs, and Capitol visitors in danger by
shutting down elevators, stairwells, and points of egress,
while obstructing official business in both the House of
Representatives and the Senate, including a Senate Foreign
Affairs Committee hearing;
Whereas the insurrection led by Rashida Tlaib was organized
by Jewish Voice for Peace, which the Anti-Defamation League
calls ``a radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates
for a complete economic, cultural and academic boycott of the
state of Israel'', and that believes ``Israeli policies and
actions are motivated by deeply rooted Jewish racial
chauvinism and religious supremacism.'';
Whereas members of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-
left nonprofit organization, were present at the insurrection
at the Capitol on October 18, 2023;
Whereas several insurrectionists at the Capitol belong to a
group messaging chat called, ``Global Intifada'', which is
the Arabic word for ``rebellion'' or ``uprising'', and refers
to a series of protests and violent riots carried out by
Palestinians in Israel during the last century;
Whereas by leading an anti-American and antisemitic
insurrection on October 18, 2023, Rashida Tlaib followed
Hezbollah's orders to carry out a ``day of unprecedented
anger'' following an explosion at a Gazan hospital, lying
about Israel's responsibility for the attack, which United
States intelligence agencies said was not perpetrated by
Israel; and
Whereas Members of Congress who denounce the United States
while praising terrorist organizations are unfit to hold
office: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That--
(1) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured;
(2) Representative Rashida Tlaib forthwith present herself
in the well of the House of Representatives for the
pronouncement of censure; and
(3) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured with the
public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.
Motion to Table
Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Clark of Massachusetts moves to lay the resolution on
the table.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that
they noes appeared to have it.
Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas
and nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 222,
