They censured her and Kinzinger as punishment for sitting on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurection and said the attack was “legitimate political discourse.”. They also removed her from Repub. leadership. Wy. Repub. voted to stop recognizing her as a Repub.

and what practical effect does censuring have?
if the voters choose to punish her, that’s how democracy works. Her job is to represent her constituents, and if they didn’t like her being in that committee or voting to impeach, then she has to face her voters for that.
She hates trump because he single handedly put a firm end to the bush/cheney legacy. the gop had a little civil war, and the bush/cheney/bolton wing lost.
that’s not to say that was the only reason why she did what she did. but in any event, it’s healthy if the voters hold her accountable for doing things they don’t like.

Actually the Republican Party had a war and the Conservative Wing lost to the Ethno-Nationalist Populist wing lead by Trump, bought and paid for by Putin.
