‘I’m Sick of It’: Jewish Republican Slams MTG and Tlaib For ‘Anti-Semitic Remarks’ Ahead of Censure Votes

 

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) one of two Jewish House Republicans, tore into anti-Semitism in both parties when talking with CNN’s Manu Raju about upcoming votes to censure members.

Raju first asked Miller about the upcoming vote to expel fabulist Rep. George Santos (R-NY) from Congress.

“I called for George Santos’s expulsion at the very beginning of the year. And, you know, I’m a man of my word. I’m not backing away. I’m a Republican who likes to hold other Republicans accountable when they do nasty things. But it is a very personal issue that I have with him. And what I can tell you is he broke the law and I will be voting yes,” Miller said.

On whether or not he would vote to censure Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Miller was less clear, but he accused both of promoting anti-Semitism.

“If we want to call balls and strikes. Members of both parties have said anti-Semitic remarks. They have. Marjorie Taylor Greene has said anti-Semitic remarks. Rashida Tlaib has said anti-Semitic remarks. I’m going to call it out on both sides of the aisle. I’m sick of it,” Miller declared.

Raju then reported on the effort to expel Santos, noting:

But on the Santos measure, why it’s unclear that it’ll pass is because it would need the support of about 77 Republicans on the floor. And a number of them simply say that they want to see what happens with the House Ethics Committee, which made an unusual announcement just yesterday, saying that it would reveal its findings and its recommendation on what to do with George Santos before November 17th. So several members want to wait until that happens before making a decision here.

But nevertheless, that vote still happening. As members who served with George Santos and the New York delegation, Republicans who come from swing districts are pushing for his ouster. Amid all those charges, as in the indictment that he is facing, as you know, Santos has pleaded not guilty. That vote still happening tonight as Santos braces for his fate in just a matter of hours.
