The South Carolina Republicans party has voted to censure Rep. Tom Rice for choosing to be one of the 10 GOP lawmakers to vote alongside Democrats to impeach Trump.
Drew McKissick, the chairman of the South Carolina GOP writes in a statement “trying to impeach a president, with a week left in his term, is never legitimate and is nothing more than a political kick on the way out the door.”
He adds “Congressman Rice’s vote unfortunately played right into the Democrats’ game, and the people in his district, and ultimately our State Executive Committee, wanted him to know they wholeheartedly disagree with his decision.”
Rice is now expected to face a primary challenge.
Rep. Liz Cheney, the 3rd ranked House Republican is also facing blowback for her impeachment vote.
Oh wow I’ll bet the is shaking in his boots with that slap on the wrist!!
Maybe the State GOPee can kick him to the curb next time around.
At this point, when his term is up, he should be informed that he is not a candidate sponsored by the party. Retire or run as a democrat.
I guess they were all out of tar and feathers. shame.
Depends on who stands up to the SC RINO nimrod in the 2022 primary, right, TGKC?
An occasional strongly worded letter. That’s about all you can expect from the GOP. They are dead to me. I will never vote Republican again.

Agree.
He’ll be gone. Safe district. He’ll be 65 years old and it’s time to call it a career. He just wants to bitch slap the POTUS on the way out. It’s up to his voters to put the heat on so that he doesn’t think twice.
Will they “Scoff” in his general direction............
Now KHAOOC!
This is actually a big deal. It means state GOPs are getting behind Trump and the GOP is finally trying to make its members shape up,
KHAOOC!
Does the GOP know how much trouble the USA is in for?
Good Trump did nothing wrong just replay Maxine Waters Insurrection speech and ask where was he to stand up to her calls for violence
What gets me, is that even though a politician is censured by his or her own party, they still get leadership positions, committee chairmanships, etc. It allows the incumbent a platform in an election year.
Censured him - good now primary him, kick him out of the party, impeach him and prevent him from even holding office as dog catcher.

This is actually not a big deal. It means state GOPs are writing more stern letters rather than getting behind Trump and using punitive measures to force its members to shape up.
South Carolina only elects Cheap Labor Express stooges.
