The South Carolina Republican Party has voted to formally censure Rep. Tom Rice (R-S.C.), who sided with Democrats in support of the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump.
Rice was one of 10 Republicans who joined Democrats in impeaching Trump for a second time, in a 232–197 vote in the House on Jan. 13. Trump was impeached for allegedly inciting violence a week earlier at the U.S. Capitol. He has argued that a speech he gave that day was “totally appropriate.”
