Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered a resolution on Thursday to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for what she said was an "insurrection."
Greene brought the resolution to the House floor after Tlaib participated in a peaceful protest at the Capitol to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
"A resolution censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for anti-Semitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex," Greene said, reading her resolution. "Whereas by leading an anti-American and anti-Semitic 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," she continued. "Now, therefore, be it resolved that Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured."
The chair ruled that the full House would consider Greene's resolution at a later date.
