Dems help GOP kill Tlaib's Lebanon war powers measure
House lawmakers rejected Rep. Tlaib's resolution to end U.S. military cooperation with Israel in Lebanon by a 324-92 vote, with opponents citing concerns over hampering anti-Hezbollah efforts.
- On Wednesday, House debate over Rep. Rashida Tlaib's resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from Lebanon stalled when Rep. Max Miller accused the Detroit Democrat of "advocating for terrorists on a daily basis."
- Tlaib's resolution seeks to limit U.S. support for Israel's war in Lebanon, arguing Congress has not authorized military involvement; she cited 3,400 deaths and 1.2 million displaced people, calling it "an ethnic cleansing campaign."
- Miller claimed Tlaib associates with Hezbollah members, citing a 2023 Fox News article alleging she joined a group that "glorified" Hamas, and stating "Hezbollah is a terrorist organization & and its members are butchers that you like to hang out with."
- The confrontation triggered around 45 minutes of paused proceedings, and Rep. Jay Obernolte ruled Miller's remarks violated decorum by impugning Tlaib's "patriotism and loyalty," barring him from speaking for the day.
- Tlaib demanded the words be stricken, calling the accusation "a direct attack on my character," while Rep. Brian Mast read a defiant statement from Miller as a House vote on the resolution is expected Thursday.
