This resolution formally censures Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado for disparaging and racist comments she made about Representative Al Green of Texas. Specifically, on March 7, 2025, Boebert used a derogatory phrase during a media interview that the resolution characterizes as offensive and a breach of House decorum. If passed, the censure would require Boebert to appear on the House floor while the Speaker publicly reads the censure resolution aloud. A censure is a formal rebuke from the House but does not remove the member from office or impose financial penalties—it is primarily a statement of disapproval meant to express the chamber's condemnation of the member's conduct. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Ethics for consideration.
