Absent a criminal charge, the House is extremely unlikely to expel an elected member simply for bigoted speech.

President In Name Only trump must be censured. It would be a huge statement and a way to expose his crimes and misdemeanors to We The People and a platform from which to consistently state the facts about trump's dangerous delusions and his myriad destructive actions. Censure would open a door of insight and shine a Light on his corrupt and fetid soul. Censure would be a step toward getting rid of his cancerous, obscene bogus administration and all who stand with him, who have looked the other way because they too have been tainted, blinded and ruined by putin's seduction with his noxious vision of our future hidden beneath his filthy bribes of all that shiny ill-gotten lucre.
