Representative Gwen Moore Statement on Vote Against Censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib
“Rep. Rashida Tlaib is the only Palestinian-American in Congress and brings a valuable and often underrepresented perspective to our legislative body.
As members of Congress, we can vehemently disagree with a colleague’s viewpoints without resorting to a censure to express one’s disapproval.”

Well said, Gwen. Now,vote for a ceasefire in Gaza!
Thank you Gwen. Unfortunately the Democratic Party is littered with with weak, ineffectual members of which 22 voted to censure Tlaib. The only way we get better as a country is a stronger Democratic Party in opposition to the GOP. Good Democrats like Gwen Moore have to call these members out. (From another article) the 22 who voted for censure are Steve Cohen, Jim Costa, Angie Craig, Don Davis, Lois Frankel, Jared Golden, Dan Goldman, Josh Gottheimer, Greg Landsman, Susie Lee, Kathy Manning, Jared Moskowitz, Wiley Nickel, Chris Pappas, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Pat Ryan, Brad Schneider, Kim Schrier, Darren Soto, Ritchie Torres, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Frederica Wilson.
