House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn dismissed GOP threats of retaliation in response to Democrats' censure resolution against Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, saying Republicans are "free to do that" if they win back control of the House in next year's midterms.
"Well, if they take back the House, they're free to do that," Clyburn, a Democrat from South Carolina, said Wednesday on CNN. "But if they really want to be representatives of what America is all about, they will take each case, and deal with it, the same way we're doing."
Clyburn told CNN that "Nobody is out looking for anybody to censure."
