                               RESOLUTION


 
   Condemning and censuring Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of 
                                Georgia.

Whereas, in 2018 and 2019, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene liked several 
        posts and comments on Facebook demonstrating her support for the 
        execution of several members of the Democratic Party;
Whereas, in April 2018, a Facebook commenter asked ``Now do we get to hang 
        them?? Meaning H & O???'' referring to former Secretary of State Hillary 
        Clinton and former President Barack Obama;
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene replied to the Facebook comment, 
        ``Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be 
        patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them 
        off'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene liked a Facebook comment in 
        January 2019 that stated, ``a bullet to the head would be quicker'' in 
        reference to the removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives 
        Nancy Pelosi;
Whereas, in January 2019, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene started 
        circulating a petition to impeach Speaker Pelosi for crimes of treason;
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called for the execution of 
        Speaker Pelosi in several videos stating that she was ``a traitor to our 
        country, she's guilty of treason'' and should ``suffer death or she'll 
        be in prison'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also said that Speaker Pelosi, 
        ``took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she 
        gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. 
        That's what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can 
        be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it's, uh, it's 
        a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty 
        of treason'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has also liked comments that 
        stated, ``Trump already said there were some great ones working with FBI 
        but some have fallen and quite frankly need to be hung for TREASON!'' 
        and ``These Traitors need to be put to death as an example of what will 
        no longer be tolerated in our country!!!'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has continued efforts to cast 
        doubt upon the results of the 2020 Presidential election by espousing 
        conspiracy theories and by threatening and inciting violence, which has 
        the potential to lead to tragic consequences, causing irreparable damage 
        toward the people's faith in our democratic process; and
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments and actions are 
        dangerous, signal a threat to other Members of Congress, and brought 
        shame on the House of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia be 
        censured;
            (2) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene forthwith present 
        herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
        pronouncement of censure;
            (3) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene be censured with 
        the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and
            (4) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene should 
        immediately resign from office to allow an individual more 
        befitting of the respect of the people of the United States to 
        represent Georgia's 14th District.
