    The actual censure document: https://docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20231106/Tlaib Censure McCormick.pdf

    The sources for each of her actions according to that censure:

    • October 8th statement
    • October 18th speech - I didn’t find any explicit evidence of what she was accused of here - only one offhand comment about bombing a hospital. It’s possible she gave additional statements that day, but I didn’t find any that contained the words “al-Ahli”
    • October 23rd statement - at least she acknowledged that it was disputed a few days later
    • November 3rd tweet - this one is particularly damning - not only the “from the river to the sea” chant, but also using footage from al-Ahli hospital and a veiled threat to President Biden that “we will remember in 2024”.
    • November 4th tweet

    EDIT: After rewatching, the threat was not veiled - it was explicit:

    Biden, support a ceasefire now

    Or don’t count on us in 2024

        A threat to steer voters to either not vote at all, or for a third party which under the current FPTP system is equivalent to not voting.

        That’s how I interpret it. How do you interpret it?

        EDIT: I rewatched it just in case - I missed the part with the explicit threat to Biden/Democratic Party:

        Biden, support a ceasefire now

        Or don’t count on us in 2024
