Democrats warn Waters censure move opens floodgates

House Democrats are warning that Republicans are opening a Pandora’s box after forcing a vote on censuring Rep.Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) this week. 

Multiple Democrats have introduced resolutions in recent months to censure or even expel Republicans, primarily over inflammatory rhetoric making false claims about election fraud ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

After Republicans forced the party-line vote on Waters this week, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) circulated a letter renewing his effort to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from Congress and urging more fellow Democrats to sign onto his resolution.

And moments before this week’s vote, House Majority LeaderSteny Hoyer (D-Md.) warned that Republicans forcing a roll call on censuring Waters makes it “harder” to justify not taking similar action against Republicans in the future.
