CNN host Jake Tapper cursed as he criticized Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for her censure resolution against Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Tapper defended Tlaib’s behavior regarding the pro-Hamas stance since the October 7th attack on Israel.

“This s— is not a game,” Tapper said to Greene.
Greene proposed the censure due to Tlaib’s support for the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Authority and criticism of Israel.
Tlaib responded by stating that she will continue to call for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid.
Tlaib said, “I will not be bullied, I will not be dehumanized, and I will not be silenced. I will continue to call for ceasefire, for the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, for the release of hostages and those arbitrarily detained, and for every American to be brought home.”
Green said, “Rashida Tlaib is the most antisemitic, anti-American, anti-Israel member of Congress, and no member of Congress for the United States of America should hate Israel and hate America.” (Trending: Judge Declines To Recuse From Trump 2024 Ballot Case)
She added, “This resolution will be voted on on the House floor next week, and I encourage all my Republican colleagues and Democrats to vote to censure Rashida Tlaib.”
Tapper suggested on CNN that “The resolution seems much more focused on January 6 than October 7. Throughout its pages, Marjorie Taylor Greene describes this act of civil disobedience from a bunch of left wing Jewish groups that are critical of Israel’s government as an insurrection.”
He added, “Antisemitism is not a cudgel to be used against people for political points, nor is Islamophobia or racism or anti-gay behavior or misogyny or any other kind of bigotry.”
Tapper suggested that the resolution focused more on January 6th than the October 7th incident.
He emphasized that bigotry should not be used for political gain.
Greene’s resolution must be considered by the House.
Tlaib called the resolution Islamophobic and attacked peaceful Jewish anti-war advocates.
Greene accused Tlaib of being an anti-Semite and leading an insurrection into the Capitol complex.
Greene posted to X, “Rashida Tlaib is an anti-Semite, pro-Hamas, and led an insurrection into the Capitol complex. Every member of Congress will be on record. Including every Democrat. Will they condemn Rashida Tlaib’s hatred or support her sympathy for terrorists?”
