Green was censured for disrupting Trump’s speech to Congress.
<><>now the House Freedom Caucus is asking to remove Green from his committees.
<><>Rep. Andy Ogles wants a vote to remove Democrats from committees
<><>Dems yelling on the House floor during a Congressional proceeding-—Green’s censure.
<><>and were part of the group that stupidly sang “We Shall Overcome.”

The Hill is nothing more than a leftist propaganda rag for democrats. Despite all the crap the democrats in the House pulled when they had the majority, the Hill never called them out — because they are their propaganda wing.

The same fragile and delicate Emily Brooks who wrote this POS article would have been outraged if Republicans behaved the same way during a speech by a Democrat president. And like the arrogant #@#@!!%#! that she is, she has a "Heads I win, tails you lose attitude."

During Trump's first term - and ever since - the Dems have been looking for ways to ruin him, jail him, and even eliminate him, but when Trump tries to restore a semblance of balance in the FBI and DOJ, HE is the bad guy.

Hakeem should go …
Al Green should be behind bars… in a zoo.

It is time to make public the Congressional sex coverup payment files.

Let us see who is who.

The only reason that the word “retribution” is being bandied about is because the Dems behavior over the past 8 years is deserving of a reckoning.

An old man shaking a cane is the perfect image for todays Democrat party and its ideas:

LAME

Someone should meme it up.

[Amagi]

It appears to me to be a restoration of sanity, civility, and decorum which means that loony left shenanigans will no longer be tolerated.

Some faces of the destructive, evil Democrat Crime Syndicate collective. FACE-WORDS-DEEDS.

Thanks for posting.

Increased appetite for retribution? Yeah, because the J6 Committee was all on the up-and-up.

Pfffft....

[Political Junkie Too]

If it were allowed by their rules, here is what I would do to anyone who is censured in Congress:

I would temporarily remove the person from committees on the condition that they use the free time to return to their district and hold three in-person town hall meetings to hear from their constituents and learn how they feel about the behaviors that led to the censure.

Once they complete three in-person town hall meetings, they can return to their chamber and resume their committee assignments.

It is up to them whether or not they heed the sentiments of their voters by changing their behavior going forward -- assuming that their constituents were embarrassed by their antics.

Passing a censure is easier than passing legislation.

[bert]

No, it doesn’t.

One censure for cause does not signal an appetite for censure

The Dingleberries Gang.

[Ahithophel]

Require they use the free time to return to their district and hold three in-person town hall meetings to hear from their constituents and learn how they feel about the behaviors that led to the censure.

Constituent in districts of some of these knuckleheads might well demand more such behavior

[DPMD]

If it’s retribution, explain why 10 dems voted for the censure.
