After Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a censure resolution against Rep. Rashida Tlaib, CNN anchor Jake Tapper ripped her appart with a NSFW rant.

Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, host Jake Tapper accused Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of selective outrage.

Tapper addressed a motion to censure Palestinian American Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib citing antisemitism.


"You’re never gonna believe who the Republican offering this motion to censure Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is."
"I want you to take a guess. Go ahead. Take a guess. That’s right. It’s Marjorie Taylor Greene."

Tapper described Greene's resolution as reading like it was authored by someone who “learned about the Arab-Israeli conflict maybe 10 minutes before, who maybe didn’t even have access to Wikipedia" that “twists a bunch of things [Tlaib] said beyond recognition.”

However given Greene's own history of spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories—like Jewish space lasers causing wildfires—and her free pass for former Republican President Donald Trump's antisemitic remarks, Tapper called out the controversial Republican's hypocrisy.

You can watch the moment here:

Tapper said:

"The degree to which some folks only pretend to care about anti-Semitism when they can weaponize, it never ceases to amaze."
"The leading Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump—he dined with Holocaust deniers [including Nick Fuentes]."
"Donald Trump posted a screed accusing liberal Jews of 'voting to destroy America and Israel' last Rosh Hashanah to nary a peep from any House Republican leaders."

He added:

"I mean, Greene spoke at the White supremacist conference run by Holocaust denier, racist anti-Semite Nick Fuentes, who participated in that hateful 2017 Charlottesville rally."
"This is the same Marjorie Taylor Greene who has pushed the great replacement theory in videos."
"The deranged notion that rich Jews are trying to replace White Americans and Westerners with Blacks and brown Muslims. Not to mention, of course, her Jewish space laser conspiracy that a consortium including, yes, wealthy Jews, were using lasers on satellites to start forest fires."

The White House veteran reporter concluded:

"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."
"This sh*t is not a game."

People applauded Tapper's straightforward commentary and cited alternate motives for Greene's motion.

Tapper noted Tlaib received criticism from Democrats, but asked if Republicans were in any position to add their own rebuke.

The CNN correspondent—speaking from Tel Aviv, Israel—said:

"[Tlaib] got a lot of criticism from fellow Democrats, and you might be sitting there thinking, ‘Okay, I can see why that might bother, or even outrage people,’ but are House Republicans really in a position to censure Tlaib?"

On Thursday, October 26, Representative Tlaib issued an official statement, writing:

"Marjorie Taylor Greene’s unhinged resolution is deeply Islamophobic and attacks peaceful Jewish anti-war advocates. I am proud to stand in solidarity with Jewish peace advocates calling for a ceasefire and an end to the violence."
"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."
"I will continue to work for a just and lasting peace that upholds the human rights and dignity of all people, and ensures that no person, no child has to suffer or live in fear of violence."

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
