Mahaska County GOP censures U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks over support of same-sex marriage

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks was one of 47 Republicans who voted in favor of a bill that would protect same-sex and interracial marriage last month.

Now that vote is drawing the ire of some in her own party.

KCCI reported that last Thursday the Mahaska County Republican Central Committee unanimously voted to censure Miller-Meeks for her vote in favor of the Respect for Marriage Act, which passed the U.S. House 267-157 in July.

The bill, which awaits a vote in the U.S. Senate, would repeal the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between one man and one woman. It would also prevent states from denying recognition to out-of-state-marriages based on sex, race, ethnicity or origin, and require the federal government to recognize any marriage, as long as it was legal in the state where it took place.

1. From the comment section...

How many of those Republicans have a wide stance when they use public restrooms?

2. Ordinarily, I look at this type of crap as performative "outrage,"

but in her case, she won her House seat by a margin of six votes. If she’s losing the Republican leadership of a county, she could be in trouble.
