Shameful . These 10 so-called democrats are part of the reason this country is in the state it is. Stand united or get out.
Emily Singer at Daily Kos:
The House on Thursday censured Rep. Al Green, passing a resolution that said the Texas Democrat's protest at President Donald Trump's lie-filled congressional address this week "was a breach of proper conduct." Worse, 10 House Democrats joined 214 Republicans to vote to censure Green. Green and another Democrat, Rep. Shomari Figures of Alabama, voted present. (Four other Democrats did not vote.) Johnson ejected Green from Trump's Tuesday speech after he stood in the chamber and said Trump had "no mandate" to cut Medicaid—which Trump and Republicans are trying to do in order to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. The vote came amid chaos on the House floor, with Green and other Democrats singing “We Shall Overcome” as House Speaker Mike Johnson read the resolution. After that, Democrats shouted about the double standard given to Green, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wore a MAGA hat during Tuesday’s speech, which is not allowed on the House floor.
[...] Just three of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Green come from districts Trump carried in 2024—Reps. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, and Tom Suozzi of New York. Suozzi said he thought Green’s protest was “inappropriate.” “I’m an old-school traditional type guy, I think we should be treating the president with deference,” Suozzi said. The rest come from districts Harris won in 2024, including Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, and Jared Moskowitz of Florida. The censure resolution was spearheaded by Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington, who had been in Trump’s crosshairs after he voted to impeach Trump for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.Â
The censure resolution could be Newhouse’s way of getting back in Trump’s good graces, as Trump was enraged by Green’s protest.
The House voted 224-194 to successfully censure Rep. Al Green (D-TX) over his justified “you have no mandate to cut Medicaid” shout at Donald Trump at the joint address Tuesday. Even worse, 10 Democrats sold out to MAGA’s weaponization of freedom of speech by disgracefully voting to censure Green. These 10 should be primaried and censured by their local parties for this.
The disgraceful 10 “Democrats” voting to censure Green:
Ami Bera
Ed Case
Jim Costa
Laura Gillen
Jim Himes
Chrissy Houlahan
Marcy Kaptur
Jared Moskowitz
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Tom Suozzi
