DeGette statement on resolution censuring Rep. Tlaib
November 7, 2023
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) released the following statement:
“I disagree with Rep. Tlaib's recent comments, but I could not support the resolution to censure her offered by Rep. McCormick and Rep. Greene. The First Amendment, which is the foundation of our democracy, protects every American’s right to free speech. So even though her statements are wrong and offensive, Rep. Tlaib should not be punished for expressing her views.”###
