Censure of Rep. Rashida Tlaib
House Resolution, H.Res. 845
What it did
H.Res. 845, sponsored by Rep. Richard McCormick (R-GA), censured Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the only Palestinian-American in Congress, for her statements about the bombardment of Gaza and for a video she posted. Censure is the House's second-harshest penalty, one step below expulsion, and it had been used only a handful of times in the previous century.
A yes vote censured her for speech. A no vote rejected the punishment.
The House adopted the resolution 234-188 on November 7, 2023, one month into the bombardment, with 22 Democrats voting yes. At the time of this vote, ~10,300 innocent people had been confirmed murdered in Gaza, including ~4,200 children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
Result: Passed 234-188-4
At the time of this vote: ~10,300 innocent people murdered (~4,200 young children murdered)
The humane vote: No (NAY)
