Goldman Files Censure Against Stefanik Over January 6th Remarks
- Representative Dan Goldman files formal censure of Representative Elise Stefanik for calling January 6th defendants "hostages" and spreading conspiracy theories about the attack
- Goldman accuses Stefanik of helping fuel the January 6th attack and supporting rioters who threatened members of Congress
- Stefanik recently referred to January 6th defendants as "hostages" and claimed the government was "weaponized" against conservatives
- Goldman's censure resolution marks the latest use of the punishment against a colleague for their speech
- Goldman does not plan to force quick action on the measure but may in the future if Republican leaders fail to address Stefanik's rhetoric
