House GOP seeks to censure members of the "squad."
Today is the day House Republicans led by led by Reps. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), Claudia Tenney (R-NY) and Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-Ind.) seek to introduce a resolution censuring members of the progressive “Squad” over Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti US/anti Israel remarks last week.
We all recall the statement: “we have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.”
Democrats, as usual made some noise about condemning he statement, than backed off after Omar walked back the comment.
"The resolution, which would formally condemn Omar and Tlaib — plus two more Squad members, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) — on the House floor, argues the progressive lawmakers’ rhetoric “inaccurately depict the democracy of Israel as an oppressive, violent, abusive nation” and that “false claims, further perpetuated over social media, have resulted in increased violence and anti-Semitic hate crimes throughout the United States.”

Speaker Pelosi most likely won't even take it up for a vote. She fears the squad or as it is currently called "The Hamas Caucus." It the radical left that dominates party policy.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has yet to comment on this resolution, though he has vowed to to bar progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar — “or anybody that has an anti-semitic, anti-American view” — from serving on the powerful House Committee on Foreign Affairs if Republicans take back the majority in 2022

Can you imagine - Pelosi has Omar on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs?
Oh the horror of having an alternative perspective. /S
Oh I know. The left censors it the right tolerates it.
Which part of this statement is false?
Keep in mind, the current GOP has censured their own members for speaking the truth about the "Big Lie", or simply having a different opinion.
They obviously censure anyone telling the truth about #45.
They have to. Truth is contagious and if they aren't careful they will have an epidemic of truth amongst their base.
I guess that is their new thing. Censure everyone that doesn't align with them, including their own.
I'm not sure how new it is, but they do seem extra fearful about anyone breaking ranks and having a mind of their own nowadays.
Let The Squad continue their anti-Semitic comments with the full blessings of the Democratic Party.
ah, looky there, more cartoons!!
Yay!!!
We apologize to our readers for endorsing Michael Waltz in the 2020 general election for Congress.
We had no idea, had no way of knowing at the time, that Waltz was not committed to democracy.
During our endorsement interview with the incumbent congressman, we didn’t think to ask, “Would you support an effort to throw out the votes of tens of millions of Americans in four states in order to overturn a presidential election and hand it to the person who lost, Donald Trump?”
Our bad.
We shall be real sorry in 2022 when congress goes to the GOP!
How's that working? The gop is in a total tailspin!
Bitching about the dreaded "Squad" isn't working...
It keeps the "we" heads on fire.
Don't you mean "wee heads"?
Actually they are the best things that ever happened!
That explains why the gop lost everything!
They're going to have to fall back to their default "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi" soon. Have they tried birtherism with Kamala yet?
As if Gohmert, Green and Bobert were winners...
Since when did anti-senitism bother the GOP? FFS Nazis are part of their base.
In all seriousness though the Dems need to clamp down on that shit, I’m getting tired of them treating the Palestinians like they are the victims here. They are the ones who keep taking a shit on every peace offer, they are the ones who started firing rockets at the Israelis, again. Until the Palestinians pull their heads out of their asses nothing is gonna get any better for them.
