Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said she stands by her comment referring to Rep. Al Green’s (D-TX) walking aid as a “pimp cane,” even as she faces a censure resolution for her remarks, The Hill reports.
Said Boebert: “I have never seen Al Green actually use his cane as a support to walk. I have seen him shake it for years, all throughout the Capitol, during any meeting that I’ve ever been present with him in and if that gold-plated cane isn’t a pimp cane, I don’t know what is.”
