                               RESOLUTION


 
  Censuring Representative Glen Clay Higgins of the 3rd Congressional 
                         District of Louisiana.

Whereas, on September 25, 2024, Representative Glen Clay 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 20th'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives censures Glen Clay 
        Higgins, Representative of the 3rd Congressional District of 
        Louisiana;
            (2) Representative Glen Clay Higgins will forthwith present 
        himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the 
        pronouncement of censure; and
            (3) Representative Glen Clay Higgins will be censured with 
        the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
                                 <all>
