NEW: I reached out to all 22 Democrats who voted to censure @RepRashida to see if they'd take action against GOP Rep. Tim Walberg for implying we should nuke Gaza. Only three replied. My report:

Dems who censured Rep. Tlaib over Palestine comments largely silent on GOP Rep's call for nukes

It's telling who does—and does not—get the benefit of the doubt
