ICYMI: Young Kim Joins Fitzpatrick, Colleagues to Introduce Concurrent Resolution to Censure President Trump

Washington, DC—Today, U.S. Representative Young Kim (CA-39) helped introduce a concurrent resolution led by Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) to censure President Trump for his role in misleading Americans to think Congress and Vice President Pence could overturn the presidential election results on January 6.  

“The violence that our nation witnessed on Wednesday was abhorrent and resulted in an assault on law enforcement, lives lost and many more put in danger. These rioters must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The president also misled many Americans to believe that the outcome of the election could change on January 6th, when that simply was not true, and must be held accountable for his role,” said Kim. “I believe censuring the president after his actions helps hold him accountable and could garner wide bipartisan support, allowing the House to remain united during some of our nation’s darkest days. I’m proud to join Rep. Fitzpatrick and others in introducing this resolution today. Like many of my colleagues, I came to Washington promising to bridge the divide. I hope both parties can acknowledge our role in perpetuating division and come together to support this effort and move forward for our constituents and the nation.”

Reps. Tom Reed (NY-23), Fred Upton (MI-06), Mike Gallagher (WI-08), John Curtis (UT-03), and Peter Meijer (MI-03) joined Kim and Fitzpatrick in introducing this concurrent resolution.
