CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday unloaded on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over the Republican congresswomen’s filing of a motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MA), accusing Greene of using antisemitism “against people for political points.”

Greene last week introduced a resolution forcing a House vote on censuring Tlaib over what Greene claimed was “an anti-American and antisemitic insurrection” at the Capitol. Tlaib earlier this month attended a rally calling for a ceasefire and end of the Israel-Hama conflict.

Describing Greene’s resolution as “written by someone who seems to have learned about the Arab-Israeli conflict maybe10 minutes before, who maybe didn’t even have access to Wikipedia,” Tapper laments that Tlaib’s participation at the ceasefire rally “is not an insurrection.”

“It might be a bunch of folks with whom you disagree, it might be a bunch of people you think are misguided, acting a way you don’t like — but this is not an insurrection,”

“Antisemitism is not a cudgel to be used against people for political points,” Tapper said. “Nor is Islamophobia or racism, or anti-gay behavior or misogyny or any other kind of bigotry.”

He added, “This s*** is not a game.”
