HRES 970 United States House · 118th Congress

Censuring Representative Elise Stefanik of the 21st Congressional District of New York.

This resolution (HRES 970) formally censures Representative Elise Stefanik (NY-21) for specific actions related to the January 6 Capitol attack. It cites her January 7, 2024, comments referring to convicted January 6 insurrectionists as "hostages" and calling their prosecutions "weaponization" of the government, despite over 1,200 being charged. The resolution also references her promotion of election misinformation, including false claims about Dominion Voting Systems and voter fraud, which the bill states contributed to the Capitol attack. As a procedural resolution, it requires Stefanik to appear before the House for the censure to be read publicly.
