Dem Resolution Would Strip Boebert Of Committees

CNN reports:

Progressive Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts is introducing a resolution, cosigned by other progressives, that would strip Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of her committee assignments for her anti-Muslim and racist comments toward Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Whether the resolution will get a vote is largely up to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

One Democrat close to the speaker told CNN on Wednesday morning that no final decisions have been made about how to deal with Boebert, but one option that has been discussed is potentially referring the matter to the House Ethics Committee. That move would be a way to avoid a cycle of leadership always having to take floor action unilaterally.

Her dangerous behavior & hateful, Islamophobic rhetoric has no place in our society & only emboldens further violence.
