Summary of Bill HRES 846

Bill 118 H.Res. 846, also known as the resolution to censure Representative Brian Mast, was introduced in the US Congress in response to comments made by Representative Mast regarding the 2020 presidential election. The resolution accuses Representative Mast of spreading misinformation and promoting conspiracy theories about the election, which ultimately led to the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The resolution outlines specific instances where Representative Mast made false claims about the election results, including alleging widespread voter fraud and questioning the legitimacy of President Biden's victory. It also highlights how his rhetoric contributed to the dangerous and divisive political climate that culminated in the attack on the Capitol.

The resolution calls for Representative Mast to be formally censured by the House of Representatives, which is a rare and serious disciplinary action that publicly condemns a member of Congress for their actions. If passed, the censure would serve as a formal rebuke of Representative Mast's behavior and send a message that spreading misinformation and promoting conspiracy theories will not be tolerated in Congress. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 846 seeks to hold Representative Brian Mast accountable for his role in perpetuating false claims about the election and fueling the events that led to the Capitol insurrection. It underscores the importance of upholding the integrity of the electoral process and promoting responsible and truthful discourse in the political arena.
