Democrat praises Fox News host for asking important question about Rashida Tlaib pushing Hamas propaganda

Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) praised a Fox News host on Tuesday for asking if the House should punish Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her refusal to believe that Israel did not bomb the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza.

Invoking Tlaib's latest statement in which she admitted that she still doubts Israel's denials, Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany asked Moskowitz whether Congress should dole out "some sort of punishment" against her for seemingly believing Hamas propaganda over her own government's intelligence.

"Thanks, Kayleigh, thanks for bringing this up and keeping this on the forefront," Moskowitz responded. "Any member of Congress who continues to trust Hamas’ information over U.S. information is obviously deeply concerning."

When McEnany clarified her query about punishment — asking if Congress should censure Tlaib — Moskowitz endorsed such action.

"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," he said.

"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," Moskowitz explained.

Two lawmakers have already filed resolutions to censure Tlaib.

Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.) filed a censure resolution against Tlaib two weeks ago for "her long-standing history of anti-Semitic and racist rhetoric toward Israel." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) also plans to file a censure resolution against Tlaib for "anti-Semitic activity" and "sympathizing with terrorist organizations."

The House, however, is unlikely to vote on the resolutions until a new speaker is elected.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is the most recent House lawmaker to be censured.
