Ilham Omar and Cori Bush OUTRAGED over Censure of Rashida Tlaib

>>Omar: “What is true here is that every single one of them has not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in the tens of thousands, but will continue to say it is us who are not acknowledging humanity! Rashida will stand strong —“
UNKNOWN: “Gentlelady’s time has expired.”
Omar: “— and the Palestinian movement will continue for liberation until every single —“

>>BUSH: “St. Louis and I rise today in opposition to this censure resolution, and also on opposition to the reckless manner that people in this House speak when they don’t realize or don’t care that they put targets on the backs of actual people, most of whom are black and brown, because of a lack of care and the lack of understanding, and a lack of seeing the humanity of folks who look like Rashida Tlaib. It’s outrageous that my colleagues are blatantly, blatantly attempting to silence the only Palestinian American representative right here. It’s outrageous, but it’s not surprising. And let me tell you, it’s not surprising because this place is where 1,700 members of Congress, this elected body, enslaved black people. It’s not surprising because they thought it was right. It’s not surprising because this is the place where members can tell you, to claim that the insurrection on the Capitol just appeared to look like a normal tourist visit! It’s not surprising because this is the place where our black and brown staff members repeatedly speak of experiencing racism and sexism, Islamophobia, get pushed off the elevators, xenophobia, and more right here in this workplace. This is the place, and let me say this: She mourns for the 1,400 Israelis —“
UNKNOWN: “The gentlelady’s time has expired.”
BUSH: “She mourns for the 10,000, and she will not stop.”
UNKNOWN: “The gentlelady’s time has expired.”
BUSH: “No war! Ceasefire now! And she takes the death threats that you all send, that they send her way Mr. Speaker —“
UNKNOWN: “The gentlelady is no longer recognized. The gentleman from Maryland —“
BUSH: “To her, the desire to save lives is greater than —“
UNKNOWN: “Gentleman from Maryland is recognized.”
BUSH: "I said what I said."

>>TLAIB: “— and anti-Semitism makes us all less safe, and worry that your own child might suffer the horrors that six-year-old Wadea did in Illinois. I can’t believe I have to say this, but Palestinian people are not disposable. We are human beings just like anyone else. My sissy, my grandmother, like all Palestinians, just wants to live her life with freedom and human dignity we all deserve. Speaking up to save lives, Mr. Chair, no matter faith, no matter ethnicity, should not be controversial in this chamber. The cries of the Palestinian and Israeli children sound no different to me. Why — what I don’t understand is why the cries of Palestinians sound different to you all. We cannot lose our shared humanity, Mr. Chair.”
