The House of Representatives voted on three censures last week, as many as in the entire 118th Congress, prompting some Republicans and Democrats to demand a change in the rules to put a stop to a growing appetite for grandstanding.
On Monday, Washington Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez secured a rebuke of her fellow Democrat, the retiring Illinois Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, after accusing him of attempting to subvert the election of his successor. On Tuesday, South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman submitted a failed motion to reprimand U.S. Virgin Islands Democratic Del. Stacey Plaskett after it emerged she had been on texting terms with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2019.
