Lauren Boebert Faces Censure Over 'Pimp Cane' Remark About Al Green

Democratic Rep. Chrissy Houlahan introduced a resolution accusing Boebert of making racist and derogatory comments about her colleague during a TV interview.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) filed a resolution to censure Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) for describing Rep. Al Green's cane as a 'pimp cane' during a televised interview.
The comment followed Green's protest during President Trump's congressional address, where he was ejected for repeatedly shouting about Medicaid cuts.
Boebert's remarks have been widely criticized as racist and ableist, with some pointing to her own history of disruptive behavior in Congress.
The resolution calls for Boebert to publicly present herself in the House for censure, citing her comments as a breach of decorum and conduct.
While the Republican-controlled House makes the resolution's passage unlikely, the incident highlights ongoing partisan tensions and debates over enforcement of congressional rules.
