Gingrich urges censure of ‘Squad’ Dems over Israel war.

Former Republican House Speaker Calls for Censure⁢ of ‌”Squad” Democrats

In a fiery⁢ interview​ on Fox Business’s Kudlow, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich expressed his belief that⁣ certain members of the “Squad” should face censure for their controversial comments regarding⁢ the ongoing conflict⁣ between Hamas and ‌Israel.

Gingrich, known for ‌his outspoken nature, accused the Democratic ‌leadership of being ‍”frightened” by⁣ the likes of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida‌ Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. These three congresswomen have ​been vocal in their calls for‌ a ceasefire and an end to what they perceive as the “occupation” of Israel.

“The Democratic Party⁣ is led from the Left. It’s intimidated by the Left,” Gingrich asserted. “But you have nine or ten members… that are just totally pro-terrorist.”

Unafraid to mince ‌words, Gingrich labeled these individuals as “pro-terrorist” and insisted that they should face censure from the House. He specifically pointed to Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, who has faced criticism for ‌her anti-Israel remarks. Tlaib had attributed the Al-Ahli Arab ⁤Hospital bombing in ⁤Gaza to the⁤ Jewish ​state, despite intelligence ‍suggesting‍ it was caused by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.

Despite ⁣the evidence contradicting ⁢her claims, Tlaib⁤ refused to retract her statements and ⁤even accused President Joe Biden and Israel of perpetrating ⁢a “genocide” during a pro-Palestine rally.

Gingrich expressed his frustration, ‍hoping that Tlaib would acknowledge the truth and condemn Islamic‌ Jihad for their actions.⁤ However, he doubted⁤ that she would do so.

“She will not condemn Islamic Jihad. None of​ them‍ have⁤ condemned⁢ the killing of babies, none of ‌them have condemned the raping of ⁢women, none ⁤of them have condemned taking grandmothers hostage,” Gingrich passionately stated.

The former speaker also criticized⁢ Minority Leader Hakeem⁢ Jeffries for​ claiming ignorance of the Squad members’‌ posts, calling⁤ it “plain baloney.”

It is ​clear that⁣ Gingrich’s strong opinions on this matter have sparked⁣ a heated ⁤debate within the political sphere.

‌What ⁣specific remarks made by⁢ Representatives Ilhan Omar‌ and Rashida⁢ Tlaib does Gingrich believe ​warrant⁢ censure?

T ‌between Israel and Palestine. Gingrich specifically targeted​ Representatives‍ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib ​for their statements, claiming that their rhetoric crossed​ the line ⁣of acceptable discourse.

The “Squad,” consisting of progressive ⁢Democratic congresswomen⁣ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida ​Tlaib, has been a‌ lightning rod for ‌controversy ⁤since its inception. Known for their outspoken and often‍ controversial views, the group has faced criticism from both Democrats and ⁤Republicans alike. However, Gingrich’s call for ⁣censure goes beyond mere disagreement and enters the realm of formal ‍reprimand.

The⁢ ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has ignited passions across the globe, with individuals​ on all sides expressing their views and​ opinions. However, Gingrich argues ‍that there is a fine‍ line between ⁣legitimate criticism and inflammatory rhetoric​ that can lead to further divisions and hostilities. He believes that certain⁣ comments made by members of ⁣the “Squad” have crossed this line and warrant censure.

Representative Ilhan ​Omar has previously faced ⁢backlash for her⁤ remarks‌ concerning Israel and its influence in American ​politics. ⁢She has been accused of using anti-Semitic tropes, including suggesting that politicians ‌who support Israel hold dual loyalty. Similarly, Representative ‍Rashida Tlaib has been criticized for her support of the Boycott, ‌Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against ‌Israel and statements deemed ​anti-Israel.

Gingrich argues that while ⁢criticism of Israeli policies ⁢is valid ⁣and should be ​protected ​under freedom of speech,‍ certain comments ‌made by members of the “Squad” go beyond ⁣legitimate discourse and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. He maintains that censuring these individuals is⁣ essential to‌ uphold the standards of civility and respect within⁢ the​ democratic process.

Censure is a formal reprimand⁣ that can be issued by either the House or‌ the Senate to ​express ​disapproval or disgust towards⁢ a member’s conduct or statements. It would require ⁢a majority vote in the House of Representatives, where Democrats currently hold a slim majority. ⁢However, Gingrich hopes⁤ that even if his call for censure does not result in immediate action, it will at least ⁢draw attention to the ⁣problematic ‍rhetoric being ⁣employed by certain members of the “Squad.”

In ‌expressing his concerns, Gingrich‍ cites the potential ⁣consequences of inflammatory​ rhetoric​ that ⁢can undermine ⁤diplomacy and perpetuate ‍division. He emphasizes the need for elected officials to⁣ uphold a‌ higher standard ⁣of discourse and responsibility, especially when discussing sensitive international issues.

While his​ call for censure may⁢ be ⁣met with opposition from Democrats who support these ⁣members of the⁣ “Squad,” Gingrich’s arguments should not be ‍dismissed outright. The ongoing‌ conflict between Israel and Palestine requires⁢ careful analysis and⁤ discussion ​that is respectful and conducive to fostering peace.

In conclusion, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s call for censure of certain members of⁢ the “Squad” underscores the ​need⁣ for ⁤responsible⁢ and respectful discourse when⁣ discussing sensitive international ⁢issues. While criticism of Israeli policies is valid, Gingrich ⁢argues that inflammatory ‌rhetoric perpetuates harmful stereotypes ⁢and divides. Whether or not his call ‌for censure gains traction, ⁣it serves​ as a reminder that elected officials have a duty to engage in constructive dialogue that promotes understanding⁣ and peace.
