A moderate, pro-Israel Jewish Democrat is preparing a measure to condemn Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) for introducing legislation to expel Palestinians from the U.S.
Zinke's bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to implement a pause on issuing visas and granting refugee status or asylum to anyone carrying a Palestinian Authority passport.
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) told Axios he is drafting a measure condemning Zinke's bill, comparing it to the anti-Israel rhetoric from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) that prompted the House to censure her on Tuesday.
"There is some rhetoric that is just dangerous and will lead to violence. Whether it's a Republican saying it or a Democrat saying it, you have to push back," Landsman said. "It's going to get more people hurt."
