Himes Statement on Censure VoteWashington, DC — Representative Jim Himes (CT-04) released the following statement:

Washington, DC — Representative Jim Himes (CT-04) released the following statement: “In 2009, I voted to hold Congressman Joe Wilson accountable for yelling ‘you lie’ at President Obama during his State of the Union Address. Today, I voted to censure Congressman Al Green for a much larger disruption. Unlike my Republican colleagues and President Trump, I believe that rules, decorum, and accountability are important regardless of political party and beliefs. If we cannot stand on principle and act with the seriousness our nation deserves, our government will devolve further into the kindergarten it has already become.”
