Oh my GOD: I asked one of the Dems who replied, Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois, if he'd support a vote to censure Walberg. His response? "We need to stop talking about censures and focus on governing.”
NEW: I reached out to all 22 Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib to see if they'd take action against GOP Rep. Tim Walberg for implying we should nuke Gaza. Only three replied. My report:
Dems who censured Rep. Tlaib over Palestine comments largely silent on GOP Rep's call for nukeswww.thehandbasket.co It's telling who does—and does not—get the benefit of the doubt

I could not do what you do because I would have just blurted out “Are you fucking kidding me?”

He’s my rep and that’s not surprising at all. He’s probably afraid of some of his constituents. Support for Israel no matter what is pretty big in this district.

how dare we ask for him to have a standard

He can't be having those, he needs to focus on governing

It’s frightening that he doesn’t consider taking a visible stand against nuking innocent civilians a part of ‘governing’

Check out the big brain on Brad!

So weird that they care about censuring their own but not the others

Because censures are just SO time consuming, right?

Double standards are a kind of standard

Is the governing in the room with us right now?

This is why there are voters in Michigan who think Republicans are better for Palestinians than dems. Because the Democrats aren’t smart enough to highlight the GOPs genocidal policies.

I said we're governed by psychopath. And I mean it. But I should have added that we're governed by psychopath who think we're idiots. To some extent, we are.

This is how advocating genocide gets mainstreamed by the "loyal opposition".

The entire government is owned by one group of people. We can’t forget that.

Well done exposing these 22 hypocrites. Bravo Marisa!

It's almost like there's a double standard or something. I'm so sick of this crap/men.

It's as much a boys club and insiders group as it is about policy. It's easier to pick on outsiders that you're trying to keep out of the sphere of influence. It gets harder and harder for the Dem party to maintain its bubble though.

So, that’s a definite no.
