Bill > HRes553

This resolution censures Representative Andrew Ogles for a series of social media posts made on June 26, 2025, targeting Zohran Mamdani following Mamdani's victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary election. The resolution details that Ogles used his official X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts to make racist, Islamophobic, and anti-immigrant comments, repeatedly calling Mamdani "little muhammad" and demanding his deportation. The resolution specifically calls for three actions: (1) formally censuring Representative Ogles, which is a serious form of public reprimand in Congress; (2) requiring Ogles to present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the censure pronouncement; and (3) having the Speaker publicly read the resolution as part of the censure process. A censure is a formal statement of disapproval that serves as a public condemnation of a member's conduct, though it does not remove the member from office.
