House Republicans tried and failed last night to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands. The move came in the wake of revelations about Plaskett texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a hearing.
Three Republicans voted against the measure, along with House Democrats who voted unanimously against it, and three Republicans voted present.
Great work guys, really great.

House Freedom Caucus bid to censure Democrat over Epstein links goes down in flames
A House Freedom Caucus-led bid to strip a member of the House Democratic Caucus of her role on a high-profile committee after her ties to Jeffrey Epstein were revealed earlier this month failed on Tuesday night.
Lawmakers voted against censuring Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands’ nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives, over newly surfaced text messages between her and Epstein that were exchanged during the February 2019 congressional testimony of Michael Cohen.
