Marjorie Taylor Greene had a meltdown over her failed censure vote – By Ja’han Jones (MSNBC) /Nov 3, 2023
Now she’s raging at fellow Republicans for tanking her absurd push to punish Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia didn’t get her way. And she’s not taking it well. In fact, she’s taking it out on her Republican colleagues.
Greene’s dubious effort to censure Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib for criticizing the Israeli government and supporting a pro-Palestinian protest failed this week. The Georgia representative sought to portray the peaceful protest as an “insurrection” and deployed her typical racism to cast Tlaib, who is Palestinian, as a “terrorist.” No Democrats voted for the resolution and nearly two dozen Republicans voted against it, as well.
One of those Republicans was Chip Roy of Texas, who said Greene’s misuse of the term “insurrection” was one major reason he voted against the censure. (He claimed Jan. 6 wasn’t an insurrection either, FYI.)
This led to a back-and-forth in the press and on social media that had Greene spending her day rattling off several incandescent tweets directed at Roy and the other Republicans who voted against her measure.
