Congress must formally censure Representatives Tuberville, Ogles, and Fine for their hateful rhetoric. Their statements have crossed the line from policy disagreement to dangerous incitement, and silence from leadership signals acceptance. I expect you to co-sponsor any censure resolutions against these members and vote to hold them accountable. The rhetoric coming from these offices emboldens extremism and puts communities at risk. When sitting members of Congress traffic in hate, it normalizes violence and erodes the basic standards of public service. Your constituents are watching to see whether you will stand up to bigotry within your own institution or look the other way. This is not about partisanship. This is about drawing a clear line that hate speech has no place in the halls of Congress. Take a public stand and support formal consequences for members who use their platform to spread division and intolerance.
