“The Cass County Republican Party has again censured GOP U.S. Rep. Fred Upton – this time over his vote to remove Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committees. But Upton of St. Joseph was quick to defend his vote. He was among 11 House Republicans who voted Feb. 4 to expel Greene from her committee roles over past inflammatory comments, saying her harassment of a Parkland shooting survivor was ‘unforgivable.’ The executive committee of the Cass GOP on Tuesday night adopted a resolution blasting the ‘attack’ on Greene and saying she was being ‘canceled’ because she is ‘unafraid to speak out'” reports The Detroit News.

“‘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 stated, adding that Upton’s vote was against the interests of county voters. Upton was swift and incredulous in his response, highlighting the Cass County GOP’s claim that Greene’s comments ‘have not been out of line with anyone else’s comments.’ ‘Really? 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 said. ‘Does the Cass GOP really think someone like that represents Republican values and should be serving on the education committee?'”
