Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I hereby give notice of my intent to offer a question of the privileges of the House.

The form of the resolution is as follows:

H. Res. 1500, censuring Representative Glen Clay Higgins of the Third Congressional District of Louisiana.

Whereas on September 25, 2025, Representative Higgins used his official account on X to publicly slander, insult, and demean all Haitians and Haitian Americans in an overtly racist post, referring to Haiti as the ``nastiest country in the Western Hemisphere,'' falsely accusing Haitians of ``eating pets,'' denigrating Haitians as ``slapstick gangsters'' and ``thugs'' and threatening Haitians to ``get their mind right and their ass out of our country before January 20.''

Resolved, that--

The House of Representatives censures Glen Clay Higgins, Representative from the Third Congressional District of Louisiana;

Representative Glen Clay Higgins will forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure; and

Representative Glen Clay Higgins will be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
