Ocasio-Cortez, along with Representatives Jamaal Bowman, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush, Andre Carson, and Delia Ramirez, voted against the resolution, which ultimately passed with a vote of 412-9. Another Democrat, Representative Betty McCollum, voted "present."
In her response, Ocasio-Cortez sarcastically remarked, "Oooh, a list!" She then suggested alternative names for the list, such as "People in Congress who think apartheid is wrong" or "People in Congress who don't ignore human rights abuses against Palestinians."

Haley's initial tweet stated, "We're taking names. These 9 members of Congress believe Israel is racist. We will remember this vote."

Jayapal's comment received backlash from both Democrats and Republicans. Democratic leaders and over 40 Democratic House members released separate statements condemning her remark.

The following day, Jayapal released a statement seemingly walking back her comment while continuing to criticize Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's administration. She ultimately voted in favor of Tuesday's resolution.

She stated, "We're here again reaffirming Congress' support for apartheid. It's an attempt to deny the reality and to normalize violence of apartheid." Tlaib further emphasized that Congress had previously supported the South African apartheid regime in a bipartisan manner.
The vote took place just before Israeli President Isaac Herzog addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
