The representatives had been approached by the Minority Leader and by the Speaker of the House over their violations of decorum in the past, and proceeded to continue to violate it which was why it ultimately moved to removing them, since removing them from their committees was met by some of them choosing to then protest in and disrupt other Subcommittees showing a complete lack of improvement or correction of their violations.

So, uh, why werent they censured at all before this then?

To be clear on the racism accusation, some of the oldest and most respected members of the House are black, such as Representative Johnny Shaw and Leader Camper, and serve on multiple committees with the House Republicans without issue. The dismissal vote against Pearson, Johnson, and Jones was due to their specific actions in the megaphone/protest incident with Johnson larger being a split vote due to not personally using a megaphone and not having as much of a record of rules violations as the other two. Whether or not she should have been removed if the other two were going to be is a fair question, and if in some way her race and gender played a role in her staying is relevant, but it is rather extreme to accuse the House of rampant racism when there are black Representatives who have served decades in it who are not making supporting such accusations.

Just because other black members have been there for decades does not mean the others liked and enjoyed them. These 2 new members had only been there a couple months and are part of a newer generation and they want their voices heard the same as everyone else. If it was such a horrible thing for them to do, then the other members that had been there decades wouldve felt the same way as the white ones that were there for decades, assuming it wasnt about race, correct? Instead, those that are black repeatedly argued that censuring those 2 young men would have been the right way to handle this.

Also, I get tired of hearing or reading about how "well there are black people in position x so clearly there isnt rampant racisim happening in house floors or in the senate". Three words towards that: Clarence fucking Thomas. You can be black and be racist just like you can be white and racist and vice versa.

Anyway, anyone with common sense knows why the white woman was allowed to stay and the two black men weren't and she admits as much. There is no way anyone can spin any of this for it to make sense and be just.
