The House has voted to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib.

In a 234-to-188 vote on Tuesday, the lower chamber approved the reprimand with the help of 22 Democrats who voted in favor of the resolution introduced by Representative Rich McCormick (R-Ga.).

The censure is the result of a week-long effort from House Republicans to condemn Tlaib’s (D-Mich.) public statement.

She said President Joe Biden “supported the genocide of Palestinians” in a video which contained clips of protesters chanting “from the river to the sea.”

The resolution stated that Tlaib (D-Mich.) “defended the brutal rapes, murders, beheadings, and kidnapping — including of Americans — by Hamas as justified ‘resistance’” within 24 hours of the attack. It also included how the Democrat spread lies about the Al-Ahli Arab hospital by claiming that the bombing was done by Israel, despite President Biden and U.S. intelligence stating that they have “high confidence” that it was caused by Hamas-linked Palestine Islamic Jihad.

Tlaib’s comments were met with condemnation from both sides of the aisle.

When the voting results were announced, audible cheers could be heard as the resolution was adopted.

Democrat leadership defended Tlaib and four Republicans voted against the resolution, despite disagreeing with her statements.

Republicans that voted against the resolution:

  1. Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado
  2. Rep. John Duarte of California
  3. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky
  4. Rep. Rom McClintock of California

Democrats who voted for the resolution:

  1. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee
  2. Rep. Jim Costa of California
  3. Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota
  4. Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina
  5. Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida
  6. Rep. Jared Golden of Maine
  7. Rep. Dan Goldman of New York
  8. Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey
  9. Rep. Greg Landsman of Ohio
  10. Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada
  11. Rep. Kathy Manning of North Carolina
  12. Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida
  13. Rep. Wiley Nickel of North Carolina
  14. Rep. Chris Pappas of New Hampshire
  15. Rep. Marie Gluensenkamp Perez of Washington
  16. Rep. Pat Ryan of New York
  17. Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois
  18. Rep. Kim Schrier of Washington
  19. Rep. Darren Soto of Florida
  20. Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York
  21. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida
  22. Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida

Tlaib is the second member of the House this year to be censured. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) was censured in June due to his part in the congressional investigation in to Trump.

Only 24 members had been censured in the House history prior to this year.
