Fox News’ Chad Pergram is reporting that House GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert, Mo Brook and possibly Matt Gaetz could face a censure vote next week:
1) Senior Democratic lawmakers tell Fox to expect a censure resolution in the House in the coming days for Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Mo Brooks (R-AL). Fox is told there could also be consequences for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

But we don’t have any details on just what would be in the censure resolution:
2) No resolution of prospective discipline has yet been shared with Fox. Nor is Fox aware of what the specific grievances would be if the House were to consider sanctions for these members.
The House has three formal modes of discipline: reprimand, censure and expulsion.

Censure is a rarely-used method of discipline for House members but it only takes a simple majority vote, which Dems certainly have:
3) The House has only censured 23 members in its history. The last was former Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) in 2010. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote. The House has only expelled five members in history. But censure and reprimand require a simple majority.

We’ll keep you posted.
Any shame in that?
The Dems just guaranteed that these men will win their GOP primaries against all challengers. “Censured by the Democrats”(TM) will become a seal of approval, a badge of quality for GOP pols.
They can all go F themselves. (Not these three, but the lefty fascists and gutless GOPers who did not support the effort last week.
They can censure or impeach somebody every day now - whoopee.
It will quickly dilute the meaning of it.
Worn as a badge of honor. Suppose they’ll make them walk the plank after?
Fighting vote fraud is cause for censure?
The world has gone past mad.
We cannot choose representatives to represent us. We cannot say what we want or communicate. We cannot get justice in the courts, and the communists are not charged for the same crimes. Our elections are stolen and thoroughly corrupt.
That only leaves the ammo box with which to express that majority will.
I keep hearing how angry congress is about the panty raid and how they are demanding consequences. They should have seen that as a rattler giving that first short warning rattle.
They should back off, they are way over the tips of their skis.
Xactly
The American bolshiviki going full assassination mode against any and ALL opposition via government, media, business, culture, employment and society; that’s all.
RE: The Dems just guaranteed that these men will win their GOP primaries against all challengers.
Do you still trust and believe that elections anywhere will be fair after what just happened?
OOOOOh, a partisan witch hunt. Only been going on for years.
that too
Don’t Tread On Me! Garden/Culpepper! They better fear the strike.
What? Are they out of sternly worded letters?
Anybody with three functional brain cells could have figured out that DC police let Antifa in.

Wear it as a badge of honor. Does it look like a Star of David?
