Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) has been censured by Republicans in his local House district for his vote to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from her spot on the House Education Committee.

“Tonight, the Cass County GOP censured me for voting to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the education committee, and in their resolution they stated that “her comments have not been out of line with anyone else’s comments.” Really?” Upton tweeted.

“She taunted a Parkland school shooting survivor, argued that California wildfires were started by a Jewish space laser, accused Democratic politicians of running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor, and questioned whether 9/11 really happened.”

Upton asked if the local Republicans in Cass County, which voted heavily for former President Trump in both 2016 and 2020 “really think someone like that represents Republican values and should be serving on the education committee?”

Upton was previously censured by the party for his vote to impeach Trump following a deadly riot carried out by his supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. 

“We believe Congressman Upton’s vote is a betrayal of his oath of office and core values of the Cass County Republican Party,” the resolution approved by Cass GOP’s Executive Committee said according to the Detroit News.

    Someone please explain to me why Trump needs to form his own party when he already has the GOP at all levels of government.
