Rep. Horsford's motion to censure Higgins highlights the bipartisan outrage over Higgins' derogatory comments about Haitians, which were deemed 'vile' and 'racist' by many colleagues.
After confronting Higgins on the house floor, several members urged him to take down his offensive social media post, which he stubbornly refused to do initially.
Horsford expressed that the action of moving to censure is necessary to address what he termed 'dishonorable conduct' and a violation of House rules.
Higgins' original post included derogatory language about Haitians, provoking significant backlash and leading to calls for accountability from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers.
