Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Wednesday avoided becoming the second member of her party this Congress to be censured, as nearly two dozen Republicans broke ranks to help.
The House sidestepped the resolution introduced by firebrand Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, voting 222-186 to table it. The measure accused Tlaib of engaging in antisemitic behavior, supporting a terrorist group and “leading an insurrection” at the Capitol complex.
The 23 Republicans who joined Democrats in voting to table the censure of Tlaib included several of her colleagues in the Michigan delegation and spanned the political spectrum, from conservative Freedom Caucus members to more moderate members of the House GOP.
