I think the punishment is the video that lives on forever of [the Democrats] acting as they did. House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed skepticism about formal censure, suggesting that the public record of Greene's disruption serves as sufficient consequence without requiring an official congressional punishment.

Defending herself against censure on the House floor on Tuesday night, Plaskett framed Epstein as a constituent and argued that the text exchange came in February 2019, months before the federal investigation into him was public knowledge. Epstein, however, had been convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution 11 years prior having served a jail sentence in 2008. The censure attempt narrowly failed in a 209-214 vote.
