When was the last time so many state GOP censored so many of their state's own federal representatives?
Burr is persona non-grata in NC.
Removal. From. Office.
NC is Trump country. Richard Burr will never hold office again.
Replace him with Lara Trump!
North Carolina Republican Party votes to censure Burr for vote to convict Trump The Hill - 6 minutes ago
The North Carolina Republican Party's central committee voted unanimously on Monday to censure Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) over his vote on Saturday to convict former President Trump .
The committee announced the censure in a statement that argued Burr's vote to convict went outside the authority of the Constitution.
"Tonight, the North Carolina Republican Party Central Committee (NCGOP) voted unanimously to censure Senator Richard Burr for his vote to convict former President Trump in the impeachment trial which he declared to be unconstitutional," the committee said in a statement, adding that "the Democrat-led attempt to impeach a former President lies outside the United States Constitution."
"Now that the Senate has voted to acquit President Trump, we hope that Democrats will set aside their divisive partisan agenda and focus on the American priorities of tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, safely reopening schools and restarting the economy," it concluded.
Burr was one of seven Republicans who sided with Democrats on Saturday to vote to convict Trump. Those Republicans are now facing fierce criticism from conservatives and Trump allies within their party.
Burr's censure comes as Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) also face calls to be censured over their vote.
The North Carolina Democratic Party blasted the censure, with Chair Wayne Goodwin saying in a statement that the state's GOP is "is in an all out civil war."
"Today’s censure vote against their senior Senator for a vote of conscience in the most bipartisan conviction of a president in history proves this is the Donald Trump Party above all else," Goodwin said in a statement. "North Carolinians are already fleeing the party by the thousands, donors are closing their checkbooks, and political leaders are withdrawing their support after North Carolina Republicans helped incite a dangerous attack on our Capitol, and the fallout is only growing."
Senators voted 57-43 Saturday on whether to convict Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors for “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States.”
"All out civil war" in the GOP? It's a handful of fake Republicans vs. 74 million angry Patriots
Nobody in NC is fleeing the right... they might be leaving the GOP because we support Trump now. We are still split 50/50 because of a few urban areas that are heavy liberal, but we almost always come out red ahead.
As for Butt, he is done. Gonna replace him with Lara Trump hopefully.
RDU, Charlotte, Wilmington and Fayetteville hurt our state.
I haven’t seen data by county yet, but I visit wilmington frequently and it was 50/50. Lot of the college kids voted at home and actual residents seemed more based. Crazy amount of trump boaters.
Fayetteville is like that. Some true military Patriots and locals surrounded by lefty transplants because of Bragg.
Quite the spin by the Hill as usual, lol!
The bastard is retiring. Concentrate on getting a real person AKA non-dipshit in office.
Fuck it I'll run.
He doesn't deserve to wear a kekistani tie.
Oh he does, just not how you think
Good. These strongly worded letters will teach em!!
Burr really is a corrupted stupid piece of shit. Resign and move back to Virginia you asswipe. NC doesn't want you around.
I'm with you pede-

Nice. But I'll be more impressed when the state GOP's start forcing these guys to resign instead of censure.
Fuck this censure bullshit.. DO FUCKING SOMETHING! Demand his resignation, boot him from the party, demand back any funds you've provided him, raid and close his fucking office, organize protests outside his home, outside his businesses, outside his wife's business, outside his children's school... openly, publicly, vocally push for his replacement
So sick of "strongly worded letters", what a fucking disgrace of a political party
Ha! That faggot's name is Dick Burr!
Actually he is posturing to compensate. He really is just a burr dick.
Why not expel him from the Party?
He is retiring and this is for show.
Be nice if a censure actually meant anything instead of basically being the equivalent of "no! bad politician!".
How about something with some actual teeth? Like pulling support for future reelection campaigns? Expel him from the party? Anything? No? I guess strongly worded letters it is then...
THIS IS THE WAY

Man, these strongly worded censures are really going to turn this country around. They're going to have to cheat even more in the midterms
Big, fat, hairy, fucking deal. They publicly wag ged their finger at him and said "shame on you" in a tone reminiscent of your baby sitter when you were 8. Censure means dick. The republican party is just doing everything they can visually to save their party from a massive outflow of patriots without actually doing anything of substance. The GOP cares even less about you than the democrats. At least the democrats hate you, the GOP is basically indifferent, which is even worse.
Unless 'censure' means sticking a jumbo black dildo in his mouth perminently with superglue - I really don't think it means fuck-all.
