Michigan County GOP Censures Rep. Meijer Over Vote to Impeach Trump

The executive committee of the Calhoun County Republican Party in Michigan voted on Feb. 11 to censure Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump, according to The Detroit News.

The censure is the first of its kind for Meijer, but several other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump had already been censured by state and local parties. Two days after Meijer’s censure, the U.S. Senate voted to acquit Trump, clearing the former president of the charge that he incited the mob that attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“As our membership diligently debated what course of action to take in this matter, it ultimately came down to the fact that, without so much as a hearing, with few settled facts at your disposal, no due process, and with a key charge of the impeachment resolution that you clearly disagreed with, you still chose to join Democrats in a partisan rush to judgment in an attempt to remove a president that was already set to leave office in just seven days,” the formal censure letter states.

My Take -  Well, it's true, the deplorables are now in charge....Hello Mitch McConnell and company, it's now time to wake up and smell the coffee.  For America's Republican party, it's a new morning!  It's easy to understand why McConnell and Company hated Trump.  They've not had backbones for so many decades it was cultural shock when a man with vertebrae became a Republican President and forced them to actually take stands and keep standing.   They were completely out of their element, aka, groveling, appeasing, apologizing and crawling on their bellies to the press and leftists, they had to completely learn new skills, and couldn't, so they completely lost their minds. I can hear their thoughts now:

Oh my God, you mean I have stand up on my hind legs and take a stand for truth, justice and the American way? We gotta get rid of this guy!

 

However, 2022 may change the entire mental and emotional make up of the Republican leadership at the national level because at the state and local levels the "new and improved" Republican party is already taking shape at the grass roots.  

 

Good Morning America!
