                      STEFANIK CENSURE RESOLUTION

  (Mr. GOLDMAN of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOLDMAN of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce a 
resolution to censure Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for providing aid, 
comfort, and support to the rioters and insurrectionists who violently 
attacked this Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an effort to undermine our 
democracy and illegally stop the peaceful transfer of power.
  Since that attempted coup, Ms. Stefanik has repeatedly and 
persistently expressed support for the duly convicted insurrectionists. 
Last week, echoing the inflammatory language of criminal defendant 
Donald Trump, Ms. Stefanik disgracefully referred to the January 6 
insurrectionists in prison as ``hostages.''
  Ms. Stefanik's support of convicted criminals charged with offenses 
against the United States Government, including attempted violence 
against Members of this body, is simply unacceptable from a Member of 
Congress, nor is it acceptable for a Member of Congress who purports to 
oppose anti-Semitism to equate convicted insurrectionists with the more 
than 130 Israeli hostages who remain subject to horrific conditions in 
Gaza. She, therefore, must be censured.
