GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy introduced a privileged resolution on the House floor Tuesday to censure Rep. Maxine Waters for her controversial comments to Minnesota protesters over the weekend urging them to “get more confrontational” if ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin is not found guilty of the death George Floyd.
But Democrats moved quickly to table the resolution in a 216 to 210 party-line vote and avoided taking a vote directly on whether to formally reprimand the longtime California congresswoman.
“Speaker Pelosi, and every other House Democrat, had the opportunity to condemn the violent rhetoric of our colleague Representative Waters, a chairwoman and senior member of Congress, to protestors to ‘get more confrontational,'” McCarthy said in a statement after his censure resolution failed. “Instead, they condoned it. And the House and our justice system are worse off because of it.”
McCarthy’s two-page resolution, shared first with Fox News, quotes heavily from Waters’ own remarks on April 17 to protesters gathered outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department in Minnesota.
