Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) formally introduced a measure on Oct. 26 that will force the House of Representatives to decide whether to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over accusations she has engaged in anti-Semitic activity and led an “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol last week.

Ms. Greene initially announced the censure resolution on Oct. 24 but brought the measure to the House floor as a privileged resolution on Oct. 26. The privileged resolution requires the legislative body to take action on it within two days. The House may either bring the censure resolution to a vote or table the measure, depending on how a majority of lawmakers decide.
