Overview

• Rep. Lauren Boebert referred to Rep. Al Green's cane as a 'pimp cane' during a congressional session, drawing widespread criticism for the remark.
• Boebert doubled down on her comment, questioning Green's need for the cane and suggesting it was merely an accessory, which many have labeled as racist and derogatory.
• Rep. Chrissy Houlahan introduced a motion to censure Boebert, describing her remarks as 'disparaging, derogatory, and racist.'
• Boebert responded by accusing Houlahan of being the one perpetuating racial stereotypes, further intensifying the controversy.
• The incident highlights ongoing partisan tensions in Congress, with slim chances of the Republican-majority House passing a censure motion against Boebert.
