Can Anyone Explain to Me Rep. Brenda Lawrence's Rationale Here?

Radio interview where Rep. Lawrence wants to bump down from impeachment to censure!

https://www.nobsnewshour.com/no-bs-news-hour-november-24th-2019/

What on Earth was Rep. Lawrence thinking?! She said she hadn't even run this by Speaker Pelosi or her caucus yet! Even if she feels this way, she should have at least tried to get perspective from Speaker Pelosi and/or Rep. Schiff before just blurting out this inanity. She's in a crazy safe Dem district, but might have screwed herself into a primary now, and for what? Sure enough, I scanned right wing-nut headlines after I found this out and those assholes jumped on her segment. Ugh.

Maybe she's been threatened. nt Progressive Jones Nov 2019 #1
Hopefully not the case, but anything intimidating her into this would just be used over and over. ProgRocknProgPol Nov 2019 #2
