Morons gather around him singing We Shall Overcome. What a disgrace to the freedom fighters. The democrat party is hitting the skids.

The Democrats have been rock solid with zero defections—until now.

Interesting.

Another clown **** show by the far-left Sesame Street kids. Al Green the Retard lead them in a chorus of some song with the two Muzzie Sisters, Slaib and Omar standing next to their boy, the Evil Green, as he lead the chorus of squawz with his pimp stick.

Green’s punishment will be standing in the chamber while the Speaker reads a sternly worded letter of censure to him.

Oh, the humanity!!!

So other than an on-the-record public shaming, what are the real consequences?

What would it take to EXPEL Representative Al Green from Congress, as was done to George Santos, just a couple of years ago.

Liar extraordinary, but with the wrong politics. Guess I answered my own question.

Doesn’t censuring him equate to basically nothing in terms of negatively impacting him in congress?

I am uneducated on censure. What does this do, beyond just scolding him?

Surprised that Comer didn’t cross over to vote with the democrats or maybe do a “not voting” to further burnish his Libertarian credentials.

What effect does censure have? Seems to me it’s meaningless.

It is like giving a kid a note to bring home to their parents.

The kid throws it in the waste-basket on the way out of school.

Al Green is the two bit pimp for all the far-left squawz in the left wing of the house. The boy needs to be sent back to the streets where he belongs.

“The kid throws it in the waste-basket on the way out of school.”

A big nothing. Kind of what I thought.
