Overview

  • Reps. Nancy Mace and Buddy Carter filed separate measures, with Mace seeking censure and removal from panels and Carter seeking removal from the Budget and Education & Workforce Committees.
  • Johnson told reporters he has not reviewed the filings and offered no decision on scheduling a vote.
  • Mace says she plans to use a privileged motion to force a vote as early as this week, though no vote has been set.
  • Both resolutions cite Omar’s Zeteo interview and her repost of a video that called Charlie Kirk a “stochastic terrorist” and disparaged his legacy.
  • Omar has posted that she condemned the killing and offered condolences to Kirk’s family, while President Trump labeled her a “disgraceful” “loser” in comments to reporters.
