A resolution to reprimand Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, survived a procedural hurdle late Wednesday afternoon, teeing the measure up for a House-wide vote.

Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., introduced a censure resolution against the Texas Democrat earlier in the day amid widespread GOP anger at Democrats who protested President Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday.

Rep Dan Newhouse, R-Wash, introduced a “censure resolution” against Texas Democrat Al Green amid widespread GOP anger at Democrats who protested President Trump’s rousing patriotic address to Congress on Tuesday.


Democrats stupidly pushed for a vote to table the resolution, which would have effectively killed it.

But it failed to pass, and a vote on the measure itself is expected sometime this week.

“Rep. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., introduced a censure resolution...”

Dan Newhouse (R-WA) is one of the RINOs who voted to impeach president Trump.

So does he not get to vote until he apologizes- like the Maine legislature representative?

Democrats can’t put this Genie back in the bottle. It was a social media disaster all day.

Why wait? Hold the vote today while it’s fresh in everyone’s minds.

Well I guess they should do the same to MTG for her similar antics during Bidens. Fair is fair.

We shouldn’t have double standards simply because this guy is a dem doofus. We have doofi on our side too.

Good one. Now I also know the the plural of doofus LOL

Yes we do, although fewer in number. Nonetheless, as I said, this is all theater. It means nothing.

People have such short memories. There should be 200 censure votes.
