Bill 118 H.Res. 606 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress to censure Pramila Jayapal, who represents the 7th Congressional District of Washington. The resolution accuses Jayapal of making inflammatory and derogatory remarks about law enforcement officers during a recent speech on the House floor. The resolution argues that Jayapal's comments were disrespectful and harmful to the men and women who serve in law enforcement.
The resolution calls for Jayapal to be formally censured by the House of Representatives, which is a rare and serious disciplinary action. Censure is a formal statement of disapproval by the House, and it is typically reserved for members who have engaged in misconduct or behavior that is deemed to be unbecoming of a member of Congress.
Supporters of the resolution argue that Jayapal's comments were inappropriate and crossed a line, while opponents argue that censuring a member for their speech sets a dangerous precedent for limiting free speech in Congress. The resolution is currently being debated in the House, and it remains to be seen whether it will ultimately be passed and Jayapal will be censured.
