Rep. Cori Bush Says It’s ‘Outrageous’ for the House to Consider Censuring Rep. Tlaib Over Her Call for Genocide Against Israel

EXCERPT:

BUSH: “St. Louis and I rise today in opposition to this censure resolution, and also on opposition to the reckless manner that people in this House speak when they don’t realize or don’t care that they put targets on the backs of actual people, most of whom are black and brown, because of a lack of care and the lack of understanding, and a lack of seeing the humanity of folks who look like Rashida Tlaib. It’s outrageous that my colleagues are blatantly, blatantly attempting to silence the only Palestinian American representative right here. It’s outrageous, but it’s not surprising. And let me tell you, it’s not surprising because this place is where 1,700 members of Congress, this elected body, enslaved black people.”
