A House Democrat is seeking to censure a MAGA Republican…
Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) wants to censure Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over a TV interview in which the Republican congresswoman criticized Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) over his display during President Trump’s congressional address.
Green notably heckled President Donald Trump multiple times during his first address of his second term to Congress last week until House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ordered the Sergeant at Arms to escort Green from the chamber.
On Monday, Rep. Houlahan submitted a resolution calling to censure Boebert “for her recent disparaging and derogatory comments” about Green.
During a March 7 interview with Real America’s Voice News, Boebert said, “Al Green was given multiple opportunities to stand down, to sit down, to behave, to show decorum.”
“For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent,” Boebert added.
The resolution said those words uttered by Boebert “are disparaging, derogatory, and racist toward another colleague, and are a breach of proper conduct and decorum of the U.S. House of Representatives.”
It calls for Boebert to be censured, “forthwith present herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure,” and that Boebert “be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.”
In a statement, Houlahan said, “After my discussion on the House floor last week when Speaker Johnson told me he’d have to censure half the members if he actually enforced the rules of the Congress, I decided to help, and tonight introduced a resolution to censure Representative Boebert for her racist and derogatory statements about Representative Al Green.”
The lower chamber of Congress voted to censure Green the next day, and Johnson condemned how the Democrat “chose to deliberately violate House rules in a manner that we think is probably unprecedented in history.”
Is Chrissy any relation to Hot Lips?
