Ten House Democrats joined Republicans in voting to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) on Thursday, rebuking the 11-term congressman for his disruptive protest during President Trump’s speech to Congress.

The chamber adopted the censure resolution in a 224-198-2 vote, less than 48 hours after Green stood up, waved his cane in the air and yelled at Trump during his speech, prompting his eventual removal from the chamber. The vote made him the 28th member of the House to be censured.

House Democratic leadership did not whip on the Green censure resolution, allowing lawmakers to decide on their own whether to support it.

In the end, 10 Democrats backed the measure: Reps. Ami Bera (Calif.), Ed Case (Hawaii), Jim Costa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).

Good for her.

The looks of disgust on all those Democrats’ faces when that little boy received his Secret Service badge should tell anyone all they need to know about Democrats. They can’t even share a little boy’s joy at a dream come true. Disgusting.

Vulnerable in their home districts if they didn’t, maybe.

[Freee-dame]

Dems in vulnerable districts are happy to vote with Republicans when their vote does not change the outcome. If they actually had integrity, they would not be Dems.

[WASCWatch]

These Democrats were given permission to vote for censure because they are in very vulnerable Districts. They didn’t vote for censure because of their morality.

I agree, they were given dispensation so later they can claim, “See? I’m bi-partisan!!!”
