Speaker Pelosi shot down that idea immediately when asked about it by reporters.
Here is what she said:
“Censure is a slap in the face of the Constitution. It lets everybody off the hook.”
“Oh, these cowardly senators who couldn’t face up to what the president did and what was at stake for our country are now going to have a chance to give a little slap on the wrist?”
“We censure people for using stationery for the wrong purpose.”
"We don’t censure people for inciting insurrection that kills people in the Capitol.”
