Representative Don Bacon has officially introduced a resolution to censure Representative Ilhan Omar over her controversial remarks made during an interview at Columbia University on April 26, where she suggested some Jewish students are 'pro-genocide'. Omar's comments have sparked significant backlash, leading to Bacon's decision to file the censure. Although Bacon confirmed the introduction of the resolution, he indicated that it is not privileged, meaning it will not automatically be forced to a vote.
