FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is facing a GOP-led censure resolution on Wednesday after her fiery remarks at a pro-Palestinian conference.
Tlaib spoke at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit over the weekend, where she condemned both Democrats and Republicans for supporting Israel as its military campaign in Gaza continues.
Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Ga., who introduced the measure, accused Tlaib of “vilifying her colleagues, endangering the lives of Jewish people, and celebrating terrorism.”
“Her conduct is beneath that of a civilized person, let alone a member of Congress. I am calling on the House of Representatives to censure her remarks and put Democrats on notice for enabling and cheering on antisemitism in their own party,” Carter told Fox News Digital.

The Detroit-area progressive, the first Palestinian-American elected to Congress, targeted the institution itself in her remarks. “Outside of the decaying halls of the empire in Washington, D.C., we are winning. They are scared.”
She also brushed off colleagues’ concerns about anti-Israel protests near their offices.
“They are scared. They send me videos and messages of people protesting in front of their district offices, people showing up at their town halls, and I was like, we’re not all related. Those are fellow Americans,” Tlaib said. “Maybe you should meet with them and listen.”
Carter’s resolution referenced other speakers at the event, tying their rhetoric to Tlaib’s participation.
He pointed to remarks by Aisha Nizar, an activist with the Palestinian Youth Movement, who discussed disrupting the U.S. supply chain for F-35 combat aircraft.
