Black Caucus Chair Pushes for Censure of Rep. Higgins Over Racist Post

Rep. Steven Horsford introduces resolution to censure Rep. Clay Higgins for inflammatory comments about Haitian immigrants.

Rep. Clay Higgins faced backlash for a now-deleted post on X calling Haitians 'thugs' and Haiti the 'nastiest country in the western hemisphere.'
The post was a reaction to criminal charges filed by a Haitian advocacy group against Donald Trump and JD Vance for inciting threats in Springfield, Ohio.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned Higgins' comments as 'vile, racist, and beneath the dignity of the United States House of Representatives.'
Higgins defended his post as free speech but removed it after discussions with colleagues, stating he 'prayed about it' and regretted the language.
The House must address the censure resolution within two legislative days, but this will be delayed until after the November election due to the current recess.
