😳 Al Green gets a centure for his breach of proper conduct 😳

The censure resolution says Green's actions were a “breach of proper conduct” during a joint address and that his removal “after numerous disruptions.” Democrats tried to table it Wednesday, but that effort failed on a party-line vote.

Johnson tweeted before Thursday's vote that Green “disgraced the institution of Congress and the constituents he serves.”

“He deliberately violated House rules, and an expeditious vote of censure is an appropriate remedy,” Johnson said. “Any Democrat who is concerned about regaining the trust and respect of the American people should join House Republicans in this effort.”

Upholding the highest ethical standards is paramount for maintaining public trust. A recent vote on censure underscores the seriousness of breaches in the code of conduct.

Ten democrats voted affirmatively on the censure motion against Al Green. This decision reflects a commitment to accountability and reinforces the importance of ethical behavior. The consequences of such breaches can erode public confidence and undermine the integrity of the institution.

It is crucial to address these matters swiftly and transparently.
