Several House Republicans introduced a resolution seeking to censure Rep. Pascrell for conduct ‘not befitting’ of a member of Congress.  The resolution – introduced by Reps. Biggs, Davidson, Harris, Lesko, and Weber – takes aim at Pascrell’s criticism of President Trump’s election-related lawsuits, including seeking the disbarment of Rudy Guiliani and Trump lawyers.

The resolution reads as follows:

Whereas, on November 20, 2020, Representative Bill Pascrell sent a letter to the State Bar of Arizona, the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, the Office of the Bar Counsel of Nevada, the State of New York Grievance Committee, and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, to file a complaint against attorneys in each jurisdiction representing the campaign of President Donald J. Trump;

Whereas Representative Bill Pascrell’s letters accuse the attorneys of filing “frivolous lawsuits” and requests each State agency “to commence an immediate investigation of their actions and consider sanctions for their conduct up to and including revocation of their licenses to practice law in your jurisdiction.”;

Whereas President Donald J. Trump’s campaign has a legal right to sue to ensure that each legal vote is counted and to challenge any illegal votes; and

Whereas each candidate running for public office in each State has the right to pursue every legal option to ensure ballot integrity and fair elections: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That

(1) the House of Representatives censures Representative Bill Pascrell for conduct that threatens the livelihoods of American citizens in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives;
