The ten Democrats who bravely voted with Republicans to censure Al Green should be commended for doing the right thing. Bravo!
Ami Bera of California
Ed Case of Hawaii
Jim Costa of California
Laura Gillen of New York
Jim Himes of Connecticut
Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania
Marcy Kaptur of Ohio
Jared Moskowitz of Florida
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington
Tom Suozzi of New York.
“I don’t mind being one of 10 Democrats, there’s a deeper principle at stake here, which is reverence for this institution,” Himes said after the vote, adding that lawmakers need to act “with the decorum and with the civility that says to the world that we are a serious country.”
“I have no love for Donald Trump, but I do have reverence for the Office of the President,” he told CNN’s Pamela Brown.
Lawmakers said anger is growing among Democrats about Green’s antics — which they believe have consumed headlines and distracted from more important issues.
“People are pissed,” one Democratic lawmaker said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal party dynamics. The lawmaker added that Green’s antics were viewed as “selfish” after party leaders made clear they wanted their members to act somberly.
