Huizenga Statement on Tlaib Censure Resolution

Washington, November 2, 2023

Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-04) released the following statement on the resolution to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

I wholeheartedly reject what Representative Tlaib said regarding the terrorist attack on Israel. However we cannot pick and choose when the constitutional protections of the First Amendment apply. Rep. Tlaib is wrong and what she said is vile but the First Amendment permits her to be.

Additionally the resolution to censure Rep. Tlaib was flawed and made both legally and factually dubious claims. This includes the wildly inaccurate claim of an insurrection. That did not happen.
