I reached out to spokespeople for all 22 Democrats Monday morning with a simple inquiry: I wanted to know if theyĀ planned to make a statement or take any sort of actionālike a censureāagainst Rep. Walberg for his call for the destruction of Gaza.
Only three offices responded.
āDeranged and depraved,ā Rep. Ritchie Torres of New York said through his press secretary, which was surprising given TorresāĀ aggressive and unapologeticsupport for Israel. (Heās literally in Israel right now.) I followed up,Ā pointing out Torresā vote to censure Tlaib and asking if he thought Rep. Walbergās comments were on the same level. His press secretary said yes. When I pressed further, asking if Torres planned to call for a vote to censure, I received no reply.
