This resolution condemns eight House Republican leaders for allowing their party's political organization to post xenophobic content on social media attacking Congressman Adriano Espaillat, the Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Specifically, the post questioned Espaillat's immigration status and patriotism despite his being a legally naturalized U.S. citizen and elected member of Congress. The resolution, sponsored by over 80 Democratic representatives, argues that such anti-immigrant rhetoric violates the oath of office and degrades the discourse of the House. The condemned leaders include Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer, and other senior Republican officials. The resolution is a formal expression of disapproval with no binding legal consequences and was referred to the House Ethics Committee.
