The House voted down a measure seeking to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), dealing a blow to conservative Republicans who sought to punish the Michigan Democrat over accusations of antisemitic behavior related to comments she made about Israel last month.
Lawmakers voted 222-186 to table the motion, overcoming the simple majority vote needed to kill the vote on the House floor. The measure failed after 23 Republicans joined all Democrats in tabling the motion, pushing it past the 217-vote threshold. Republicans who voted to table the motion include Reps. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), Ken Buck (R-CO), John Duarte (D-CA), Chuck Edwards (R-NC), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Harriet Hageman (R-WY),

So now we have Democrats caucusing with the Republicans. Mirroring the communists in the “upper” chamber.
We are beset on every side.

Now we know the names of the Republicans that need to be replaced. I see Buck has announced he is not running, which is the best decision he has ever made.

Maybe they need to change the symbol of the Republican party from the elephant to a chicken?

#8 - Yes, Harriet Hageman from Wyoming was very disappointing to see. Also, what about Chip Roy from Texas? I thought he was supposed be a MAGA type guy? The three supposed California conservative stalwarts were the most disappointing for me; Darrell Issa, Doug LaMalfa, and Tom McClintock. Sheesh! These guys were all over the place during the Tea Party days promising their support for bedrock American values. Now they can't even censure an enemy sympathizer within their own House? Some nights I think Antifa may have the right idea; burn it all down!

What is the matter with you Republicans? It was time to shut this mouth up if only for a short time.

Cowards. It means that all those who voted against it are in league with the terrorist organization Hamas.

chuck edwards of NC was a Thom Tillis plant to get rid of conservative Madison Cawthorn in the US House. Tillis is one of the biggest liars and rinos in the Senate,

You had to know Ken Buck was all-in supporting HAMAS...I was surprised that Chip Roy is a "Fellow Traveler"...
23 is a very disheartening number, with so many treasonous asshats, it's no wonder nothing can get done to help America emerge from the desolation it is going through.

Hageman is my rep from Wyoming. She replaced Cheney and up to now seemed to be a good replacement. This vote in support of Tlaib is not good and better not be the beginning of a slide to be another Cheney.

Shame. Not a single Jewish Democrat congressman or woman voted for her censure.
