As I discussed last week, Chuck Schumer, the Biden White House, and other Democrats and their media allies are being shamefully dishonest and dangerously demagogic in defending the mob of protesters that shut down the Tennessee state house. Now, as a predictable result of Democrats’ seeing political opportunity in these shenanigans, a similar controversy has arisen in the Montana house, from whose floor transgender lawmaker Zooey Zephyr has been barred for the rest of the 2023 session for openly and repeatedly refusing to abide by its rules.
Democrats argued, in the Tennessee case, that the state’s Republicans went too far in expelling the two legislators who had led the protest. Certainly, the Republicans could have chosen a less drastic sanction, and they made a serious political error in how they went about it. But some strong medicine was warranted, and it is warranted again in Montana.
