House Democrat Introduces Resolution To Censure Marjorie Taylor Greene

Freshman Congresswoman Becca Balint (D-VT) has introduced a resolution to censure Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. The censure comes after Greene’s most recent controversy, the displaying of naked pictures of President Biden’s son Hunter in a hearing last week, but includes 40 other examples of Greene’s disgraceful comments and actions which make her unfit for office.

In addition to denouncing the Georgia Republican for showing inappropriate images of Hunter Biden, the resolution condemns Greene for repeatedly fanning the flames of “racism, antisemitism, LGBTQ hate speech, Islamophobia, anti-Asian hate, xenophobia, and other forms of hatred.”

In a statement on her introduction of the censure, Congresswoman Balint said “For me, censuring Rep. Taylor Greene is about the health of our democracy and faith in government. Her antisemitic, racist, transphobic rhetoric has no place in the House of Representatives.” Balint also stated “This job is about alleviating suffering and supporting our communities, and instead Taylor Greene uses her position as a megaphone for conspiracy theories and hate speech. There must be a counterforce that comes from within Congress. It begins with principled members standing up and saying we have had enough.”

The resolution was introduced as privileged meaning the Congresswoman can make a privileged motion in the future to force floor action on the measure which can’t be blocked by the current Republican Majority in the House. The resolution could be brought to a vote as soon as this week.
