(COLORADO) — A Pennsylvania representative has introduced a resolution to censure Colorado representative Lauren Boebert after she allegedly made “disparaging” and “racist” comments about another representative from Texas.
On March 7, during an interview with Real America’s Voice News, Republican Representative Boebert (R-CO) said “For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent and is showing even with Democrat voters,” about Representative Al Green (D-TX).
Three days later, Representative Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) introduced a resolution, H.Res.202, to censure Boebert.
“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 (D-TX),” said Houlahan.
According to Houlahan’s resolution, Boebert’s words are a breach of proper conduct and decorum of the U.S. House of Representatives. The resolution calls for:
Boebert to be censured.
Boebert to present herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure.
Boebert to be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
On March 11, Boebert was back on Real America’s Voice News and said that she stands by her comment, as she has ‘never seen Al Green actually use his cane to walk’ and rather only sees him shaking it ‘for years’ at the Capitol.
“Listen, it was a little sly to his cane and his gesture, his cane that was wielded at the President of the United States and you know what, if she wants to censure me over it, go ahead and try, girlfriend,” Boebert said on Real America’s Voice News. “I have the American people who will show up, who will donate, and who will re-elect me.”
