Democrats respond to Ilhan Omar censure vote with in-kind push against Cory Mills

A House Democrat responded Tuesday to GOP efforts to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) by forcing his own vote to censure Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.).Why it matters: It's a prime example of censure increasingly being used as a partisan weapon rather than the House's most harsh rebuke from rule-breaking aside from expulsion.The introduction of censure resolutions, along with impeachment, expulsion and contempt measures, has spiked in recent years. Members of both parties have also been pushing back against the trivialization of censure by voting to defeat censure measures against members of the opposing party.Driving the news: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) took to the House floor Tuesday to force a vote on her resolution censuring Omar for her critical comments and posts about Charlie Kirk following his assassination last week.Mace's resolution would kick Omar off the House Budget and Education & Welfare Committees.In response, Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar (D-Texas) introduced a measure that would censure Mills but not kick him off committees.Zoom in: The Mills resolution centers on reports and allegations of domestic violence and sexual misconduct, stolen valor, making false financial disclosures and committing campaign finance violations.IMills has disputed all of those allegations. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
