Boebert Defends 'Pimp Cane' Remark About Al Green Amid Censure Motion

Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing backlash after she referred to Rep. Al Green's walking cane as a 'pimp cane' during an interview, following Green's protest at President Trump's address to Congress. Boebert, who has received criticism for her remarks being deemed racist and derogatory, has doubled down, insisting that her comments were not intended to be offensive and questioning whether Green genuinely requires the cane for walking. A censure resolution has been introduced by Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, highlighting Boebert's comments as a breach of House decorum. Boebert dismissed the censure, suggesting that Houlahan's reaction stems from her own political backlash and making further controversial remarks about race. Despite the criticism, Boebert claims she has the support of her constituents and is unyielding in her stance. The situation reflects ongoing tensions within Congress regarding decorum and race-related issues.
