WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday voted down a measure to censure Democratic Rep. LaMonica McIver and remove her from a committee assignment over her role in a tense confrontation with law enforcement at a New Jersey immigration detention center in May.
Five Republican members defcted and joined all Democrats to kill the resolution. Two other Republicans voted present. That was enough to table the measure.
Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., had introduced the resolution Tuesday night as a privileged matter, the fast-track process that forces a vote within two legislative days. This was his second attempt, as he had also introduced the resolution before the August recess.
This total BS anyway. The indictment was sham and nothing more than political theater. As an Elected Representative in Congress she the right to inspect the the Detention Center. Denying her access was against the law, but there was no indictment for that.
