Lauren Boebert Faces Backlash Over 'Pimp Cane' Remark Directed at Al Green

The Colorado congresswoman defends her controversial comments about the Black lawmaker's mobility aid, sparking accusations of racism and escalating tensions in Congress.

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.
