“In an emergency vote Monday night, North Carolina’s Republican Party voted unanimously to censure Sen. Richard Burr, just two days after the retiring Republican cast a ‘guilty’ vote in former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial,” the Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Burr called it a “truly sad day” for state Republicans.
He added: “My party’s leadership has chosen loyalty to one man over the core principles of the Republican Party and the founders of our great nation.”
