“Nancy Pelosi would never have tolerated that type of dissent in her party.”
So the question is in a “free” republic, should political parties be dictatorial or should representatives of the people be independent actors particularly if their constituents disagree with the party line.
Brian Fitzpatrick the man is without a spine. Oh, I forgot his former FBI.

That is a very good question.
IMO a political party should be disciplined enough to accomplish the policies they & their constituents supposedly favor. This usually only happens if the executive and legislative branches are the same party.
Yet, I think it’s good for parties to have vigorous debates about issues and policies both within the party & against the other party.
I don’t want a “rubber stamp” dictatorial party, but I’m also sick of ‘maverick’ Republicans and their stupid shtick.
