Republicans in the Montana House of Representatives voted to bar state Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D) from the House floor — silencing her for the rest of the 2023 session, Montana Public Radio reports.
Zephyr, who is transgender, has been blocked from speaking since last Tuesday when she told supporters of a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors that she hoped they would see “blood on their hands.”
