The South Carolina Republican Party voted Saturday to formally censure Rep. Tom Rice for his vote to impeach former President Donald Trump in the latest example of an official GOP apparatus punishing Republicans who have dared to buck the former President.
“We made our disappointment clear the night of the impeachment vote. 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,” South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
“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.”
