On the #House floor, Horsford introduced a #censure resolution against #ClayHiggins. In a statement shortly thereafter, Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries (D-NY) said Higgins “must be held accountable for dishonorable conduct that is unbecoming of a Member of #Congress.”
#House Speaker #MikeJohnson, also a #Louisiana #Republican, told reporters #ClayHiggins was approached by colleagues who told him the post was “offensive.” Johnson said he then spoke to Higgins about it, after which Higgins “prayed about it & he regretted it & he pulled the post down.”
“That’s what you want the gentleman to do,” Johnson said. [I want him not to do it in the first place & he’s definitely NOT a gentleman]
