Kansas state Senate Republicans have removed three of their own members from committee assignments after a dispute over new congressional district map lines earlier this week.
State Senate President Ty Masterson (R) said he would remove state Sens. Dennis Pyle, Mark Steffen and Alicia Straub from one committee each after the three Republicans voted with Democrats to uphold Gov. Laura Kelly’s (D) veto of the congressional district maps.
Masterson and Kansas Republicans scrounged up the votes to override the veto after a delay. The state House joined the Senate Thursday to override her veto.
“To maintain unity in the caucus, these changes were necessary,” Masterson said in a statement.

Their glory days are over!!
At least the RINOs are flushed out at a minimum:-(
progress, one step at a time.
Thank you Kansas state Senate Republicans. Any one of you would be better than Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.
Power is useless if you are afraid to use it.
OUT-FRIGGIN’-STANDING! Kansas leads the way.
“Kansas Republicans ignored the will of the people and decades of precedent by carving up the Kansas City metropolitan area for their partisan gain,” Kelly Burton, who heads the National Democratic Redistricting Committee...
Elections have consequences. You lose and the gerrymandering political spoils belong to the victor. I think we learned that lesson from the Dem Party and Dem appointed state judges that protect their gerrymandering legislatures on the legal front.
When do the recall efforts, if allowed, begin?
All three should be publicly shunned and ignored until they’re run out of town. There’s a reason they sided with the Dems. Find that out and let folks know, far and wide.
Did anyone come back at Kelly Burton and ask her how the redistricting in New York State is going? Ok when Dems do it though, I’m guessing.

Good. Crack that whip. They will pay a price for palling around with Dems.
This is how you do it!
“remove state Sens. Dennis Pyle, Mark Steffen and Alicia Straub from one committee each”
from what?
The Refreshments Committee, the Decorations Committee?
if this crap continues much longer, we are definitely gonna need a lot more rope. . .
RINOs must be drummed out of the party.
Both show the Republicans who supported the Democrats are just Democrats anyway.
The Republican Party of Kansas needs to give them the Liz Cheney treatment and throw them out of the party.
Filthy little Cheneys need to be run out of the party 🤪
“State Senate President Ty Masterson (R) said he would remove state Sens. Dennis Pyle, Mark Steffen and Alicia Straub from one committee each after the three Republicans voted with Democrats...”
It appears we’ve found a replacement for Mitch McConnell.
Power is useless if you are afraid to use it.
Weaklings in Texas house, senate and governor’s follow this same back-stabbing agenda.
Good!
