                               RESOLUTION


 
    Censuring Representative Bennie Thompson for inciting violence, 
 including two assassination attempts, against President Donald Trump.

Whereas Representative Bennie Thompson has introduced H. R. 8081, the DISGRACED 
        Former Protectees Act, targeting President Donald J. Trump by attempting 
        to remove his United States Secret Service protection, which is granted 
        to all former presidents;
Whereas Representatives Troy Carter, Barbara Lee, Frederica Wilson, Yvette 
        Clarke, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Jasmine Crockett, Joyce Beatty, and Steve 
        Cohen are cosponsors of the bill;
Whereas a staffer of Representative Bennie Thompson said after the first 
        assassination attempt on President Trump, ``I don't condone violence but 
        please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time...ooops 
        that wasn't me talking.'';
Whereas Representative Jasmine Crockett lashed out in a recent interview, just 
        hours before the second assassination attempt on President Trump, 
        saying, ``MAGA in general--they are threats to us domestically.'';
Whereas Representative Steve Cohen said, ``Trump is an enemy of the United 
        States.''; and
Whereas Representative Joyce Beatty said President Trump ``stepped on our 
        democracy. He defied the Constitution.'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives censures Representative 
        Bennie Thompson for inciting violence, including two 
        assassination attempts, against President Donald Trump;
            (2) Representative Thompson will forthwith present himself 
        in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
        pronouncement of censure; and
            (3) Representative Thompson will be censured with the 
        public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
