Hageman Votes to Hold Tlaib Accountable for Support of Known Terrorist Organization

Washington, DC – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman issued the following statement after voting to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib:

“Over the weekend, Rep. Rashida Tlaib shared a highly produced video supporting a known terrorist organization. This produced video calls for the elimination of the state of Israel and is in direct conflict with our American foreign policy positions in the region. Tlaib’s call for eradication of Israel has emboldened rioters and criminals in our own country.

“Prior to this weekend’s escalation by Rashida Tlaib, it was important for the American people to hear her vile and antisemitic rants, see her for who she really is, and learn about her factual and historical ignorance on this issue. She has now escalated her rhetoric beyond what is acceptable for a member of Congress.

“The floor debate tonight was more than enlightening; it not only confirmed her willingness to double down on her support for Hamas and the terrorists who carried out the atrocities on October 7th, but that she is willing to lie to deflect attention from her actions.

“It is my hope that the voters of her district have also seen and heard enough and will remove her from office via the ballot box in 2024. 

“I voted yes on tonight’s censure vote.”
