Representative Fred Upton has been censured by the Cass County Republican Party in his home state of Michigan for his vote to strip Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments.
Upton announced the censure in a series of Twitter posts late Tuesday night. He wrote that their resolution stated that her "comments have not been out of line with anyone else's comments."
"Really?" he wrote.

In 2018 and 2019, before her campaign and election to Congress, Greene liked and spread social media content supporting the conspiracy theory known as QAnona broad movement that believes former President Donald Trump is working to expose an elite cabal of child sexual abusers. In one post, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Others promoted conspiracies that mass school shootings were staged events.

Good on him for fighting back. The GQP is forced to take sides. He chose sanity.

He's more of a John Boehner hack than a nut job.
