Democrat Thanks Kayleigh McEnany For Asking If Rashida Tlaib Should Be Censured: ‘Something Everyone Should Consider’

 

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) joined Fox News on Tuesday and thanked Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany for keeping the focus on his fellow Democrat Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and her refusal to accept U.S. and Israeli intelligence assessments concluding Israel did not bomb a hospital in Gaza.

McEnany read Tlaib’s latest statement on the issue, calling for an independent UN investigation, and then brought in Moskowitz.

“Let’s bring in Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz, who has been a leader — perhaps one of the strongest voices in the Democratic Party — on this issue,” she began, adding:

You know, Congressman Moskowitz, you tweeted that your Democratic colleagues who blamed Israel should take down their post and Ilhan Omar did that. However, far from taking down the post, Rashida Tlaib is doubling down. Should there be some sort of punishment? We know Congress has the ability to censure should Republicans ever get a House speaker?

“Thanks, Kayleigh. Thanks for bringing this up and keeping this on the forefront. Look, Congress is unified in its support of Israel,” Moskowitz replied, adding:

I continue to be disappointed in members of Congress who are not willing to listen to U.S. intelligence and listen to the Biden administration, who have said Israel had nothing to do with the issue that happened in the parking lot of the hospital. Let’s remember, the hospital wasn’t hit. The hospital is still there. It’s the parking lot of the hospital.

That was the first lie that was told. The second lie that was told was that over 500 people died there. There’s no proof of that.

And the third lie that was told was that it was Israel. All of those things have turned to be turned out to be inaccurate. U.S. intelligence is saying that. And any member of Congress who continues to trust Hamas’s information over U.S. information is obviously deeply concerning.

McEnany doubled down on a possible censure for Tlaib, asking, “You know, Congressman, Article one, Section five, I believe it is, gives Congress the power to punish, censure, reprimand. Are those things that should be considered for those who want to propagate terrorist talking points?”

“Oh, listen, I think once we get a House speaker here, I think that censure resolution will come to the floor. And I do think it’s something that everyone should consider,” Moskowitz replied, adding:

This is about U.S. intelligence. This is about U.S. information. This is about not willing to trust the Biden administration and U.S. intelligence, but instead continuing to pretend like the Ministry of Health out of Gaza is nothing other than a terrorist organization telling people what we want to hear.

We just heard the leader of Hamas talking about genocide. I mean, good God, it is propaganda to the 10th degree. And people have to stop buying it and they have to listen to the facts.

“And the media needs to stop propelling it, as we’ve seen from several outlets,” McEnany interjected.

“It’s been disgusting, what happened in the hospital issue with the media was disgusting, it exposed all kinds of antisemitism, I guess we can dispel with the lie Jews control media,” Moskowitz added.
