The House voted Tuesday to reject a GOP-backed effort to censure California Rep. Maxine Waters for her remarks ahead of the verdict being delivered in Derek Chauvin s trial for the death of George Floyd.
House lawmakers voted 216-210, along party lines, to table the measure introduced by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
On Sunday, Waters said that “we’ve got to get more confrontational” if Chauvin isn’t convicted of murder in the case, which drew a stinging rebuke from Republicans, some of whom called for her expulsion from Congress.

MINNEAPOLIS The 12 jurors deliberating the case against Derek Chauvin will have three counts to consider as they weigh whether he is responsible for the death of George Floyd.
Chauvin is charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. He could be convicted on all of the charges, some or none. The case comes down to two key questions whether Chauvin caused Floyd s death and whether his actions were reasonable and each charge requires a different element of proof as to Chauvin s state of mind.
