Press Releases

Tonight, Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) released the following statement after voting to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). The censure resolution passed the House of Representatives this evening by a vote of 234-188 with 22 Democrats joining 212 Republicans.

“The attack on innocent civilians by Hamas was an act of terrorism that claimed the lives of Israelis and Americans alike. Representative Tlaib used her position in Congress to spread antisemitic falsehoods as well as echo and embrace statements that promote genocide. This is entirely unacceptable and unbecoming of a Member of Congress.

“I joined a bipartisan majority of the House in taking the necessary and responsible action to censure Representative Tlaib. Representative Tlaib needs to take this rebuke to heart and begin working to end Hamas’ bloodshed, instead of defending it.”
