After a year that saw three censures and an expulsion, the House seems ready to pick up where it left off, as members launch more attempts to punish their colleagues.
The latest effort comes from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is taking aim at Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar over disputed remarks she made to a group of Somali Americans.
Greene, the Georgia Republican who in the past has spoken at a conference of white nationalists, says she wishes she could “deport” her colleague but would settle for a censure instead. She is forcing action by offering a privileged resolution that would censure Omar for what she describes as “treasonous statements.” The House must act on the resolution next week.
