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.
They will wear it as a badge of honor.

"Members of Congress who have been censured are required to give up any committee chairs they hold. (MEANS ZERO for them in a RAT MAJORITY CONGRESS) Like a reprimand, a censure does not remove a member from their office so they retain their title, stature, and power to vote. There are also no legal consequences that come with a reprimand or censure. The main difference is that a reprimand is "considered a slap on the wrist and can be given in private and even in a letter," while a censure is "a form of public shaming in which the politician must stand before his peers to listen to the censure resolution"
Those feminists and their homoactivist pets only want to scold the representatives. Harridans (AKA baboons) are addicted to scolding and homos get off on watching.
Liberals and Never Trumpers only have 2
How can they be censured for performing an action that is defined by law? It wasn’t illegal.
RE: It’s a reason for getting more conservatives to vote.
I’M not saying conservatives should not go out and vote. I’m saying don’t expect the results to be different from what we got in Georgia, TWICE (unless you fix the rotten, corrupt voting system).
If I was involved in witnessing election fraud in 2020, I would not come forward for mere $1 Million. First it is not guaranteed prize, the fraud has to go to court and win. Not many courts are even accepting election fraud cases.
$1 million in today’s price structure does not make you secure. You will need at least $4 million plus to go live in obscurity without needing a job and get discovered. The list of people associated with Clinton’s who died unnatural deaths is more than 100 names.
Big whoop. Who cares?
They can boot ‘em out. 2/3rds, and out you go.
