Representative Dan Goldman, Democrat of New York, on Wednesday planned to file a
formal censure of Representative Elise Stefanik, Republican of New York,
accusing her of peddling voter fraud conspiracy theories that fueled the Jan. 6,
2021, attack at the Capitol and supporting rioters who violently threatened
members of Congress, referring to them as “hostages.”

Mr. Goldman’s resolution marked the latest instance of a lawmaker using what was
once a rare form of congressional punishment — a public reprimand just short of
expulsion that historically has been used against members only after a criminal
conviction or finding of wrongdoing — to condemn the speech of a colleague.

Appearing on “Meet The Press” this month to mark the third anniversary of the
Capitol assault, Ms. Stefanik said she harbored “concerns about the treatment of
the Jan. 6 hostages,” echoing former President Donald J. Trump’s use of the term
to describe his supporters who have been imprisoned for trespassing and
assaulting police officers that day.

Ms. Stefanik, who previously called on the Justice Department to prosecute those
responsible, also said during the interview that “we’re seeing the weaponization
of the federal government against not just President Trump, but we’re seeing it
against conservatives.”

Democrats have widely condemned her use of the word “hostages” to refer to
hundreds of individuals who were found guilty of crimes related to the assault
on the Capitol.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the minority leader, said that Ms.
Stefanik “should be ashamed of herself.” Representative Jamie Raskin, Democrat
of Maryland, who served as a member of the House panel that investigated the
Jan. 6 attack, speculated on social media that she did so because she was
auditioning to be Mr. Trump's running mate.
