This feels performative. She received a lot of blowback from her vote, and now she's introducing a resolution to see if the rules are applied equally. This effort feels futile. I would be highly surprised if Johnson let the resolution pass, and even if he did, it would automatically be shut down by the GOP. I acknowledge her attempt at consistency, but it is too little, too late. Al Greene was censured, not just for breach of protocol, but also because he's a Democrat. The GOP won't double-cross their own.

Would she have done this were she not called out (loudly) on her vote? I wonder. The bottom line is the vote for censure was the vote of 10 white people telling a black man how to act. Personally I think that's disgraceful.
