PA GOP Voting Today on Toomey Censure
Politics PA ^ | 3/1/2021 | John Cole

Posted on 03/01/2021 2:57:19 PM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

On Monday morning, PA GOP Chairman Lawrence Tabas sent out an email asking state committee to vote whether to “strongly rebuke” or “censure” Sen. Pat Toomey. Voting will be open until 9 PM.

Toomey was one of seven Republicans to find former President Donald Trump “guilty” in the latest impeachment trial, although the Senate ultimately voted to acquit the former President.

Tabas endorsed a censurious statement that he characterized as distinct from a censure. “The statement that I proposed, and firmly support, strongly rebukes and admonishes Senator Toomey but does not censure,” he wrote.

“If a majority decide to censure Senator Toomey, I will respect that choice, and this committee’s right to make it,” Tabas continues.

“Let’s get this done, put it behind us and let’s work together to make our PAGOP a better, more inclusive organization that cannot be defeated.”

Censure should come with prison terms, otherwise they are meaningless.

Censure should come with removal from office.

There is no defense for Toomey’s vote.

I thought I’d read that the PA GOP Executive Committee had decided against it...glad they are reconsidering.

Chairman Tabas would prefer not to use the word CENSURE.

Chairman Tabas does not want to do this. My county hasn’t done it either.

Toomey and Santorum where probably the two most conservative Pennsylvania senators. Given the impeachment vote and what Schippers said about Santorum in Sell Out, that is pretty sad.

Another vivid example of just how weak the GOP is, even at the state level. They stand for nothing while acting for show
