Censuring Representatives Bennie Thompson, Troy Carter, Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette Clarke, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Steve Cohen for inciting violence, including two assassination attempts, against President Donald Trump.
HRES 1454 is a formal House resolution censuring nine Democratic Representatives (Bennie Thompson, Troy Carter, Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette Clarke, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Steve Cohen) for statements the resolution claims incited violence against former President Trump, including during two assassination attempts. The resolution cites specific remarks, such as Thompson’s bill targeting Trump’s Secret Service protection, a staffer’s comment after an attack, Crockett’s "MAGA in general - they are threats" remark, Cohen calling Trump an "enemy," and Beatty stating Trump "stepped on our democracy." If passed, it would require the censured members to appear in the House chamber for a public reading of the resolution. This is a procedural disciplinary action with no legal effect beyond House rules.
