Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) yelled and wagged her finger at her Republican colleagues on the House floor Tuesday night after the chamber rejected a resolution to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) with the help of a handful of Republicans. The GOP failure to censure Plaskett, in turn, led to Democrats declining to pursue a censure of Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.). The resolution to censure Plaskett and remove her from the House Intelligence Committee over recently released documents that show she consulted with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 hearing failed in a 209-214-3 vote.

Three Republicans — Reps. Don Bacon (Neb.), Lance Gooden (Texas) and Dave Joyce (Ohio) — voted “no,” along with all Democrats. Three other Republicans voted present: Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.), Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), and Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.). Boebert is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, which pushed the Plaskett resolution.

Boebert’s exact words were not clearly audible from the House press gallery or on recordings after the vote failed, but she loudly yelled and wagged her finger at other Republicans. At one point, Boebert went up to Mills, and pointed at him with a raised voice, too.
