The single most important takeaway is that by Censuring me, RINOs and Establishment Republicans have validated the other Censures and refuted their prior claims that they were “meaningless and a waste of time”. By this action, they admit that Censures are an important tool of the People to hold their elected officials accountable and can and should be used. With this faction of the Republican party following suit, it is amazing that Censures have at last United the Republican Party.
Below is the Censure that Legislative District 14 passed on July 17, 2023. By reading it, it is clear that this is really a Censure against Free Speech, the First Amendment to the US Constitution, the Republican Party Platform, and about a personal vendetta that LD14 Chair and ULTRA RINO Andrew Adams has. An LD14 PC reported that the only PC to speak in favor of the Censure was the Chair himself Andrew Adams. This is a major violation of the Chairman’s duties to remain neutral and a complete abuse of power. Unlike the LD8 Censure of Yvonne Cahill, I was not given the opportunity to defend myself or provide a statement. Yvonne was even invited to speak at the LD8 meeting and the LD8 Chair rightly remained neutral.
One LD14 PC who spoke against the LD14 Censure later wrote “All it references are tweets by Brian against 4 individuals. Kind of reminds me of Trump and the “MEAN TWEETS” syndrome.”
This is possibly the most pathetic Censure that anyone has ever written. Not only does it fail to follow ANY standard format, but unlike most censures it does not focus on voting record, supporting Democrats, or other factual egregious offenses. Instead, it boils down to basically “Brian said some things Andrew didn’t like”. The censure mentions Brian tweeting “Andrew is not Ultra MAGA he is Ultra RINO”. Firstly that was not tweeted, but rather posted to a private Signal group which was later leaked. Secondly, it is true that Andrew Adams is an Ultra RINO.
AMAZINGLY, the LD14 Censure even includes a tweeted question! “According to one of the comments, you met with Ukraine students in a PR opp is that correct?” WOW Censured for asking a question. Real compelling stuff here.
It also includes some hearsay accusations about not wanting to sit down and burning bridges with no evidence or specifics provided. This sounds more like an opinion than anything else. The beginning of the Censure is very strange as it mentions “LD 14 Code of Conduct Review”. I am familiar with these types of 1934 German-style tribunals against dissent. Usually even they include some sort of notice or chance for response or defense from the individual they are addressing. It looks like Andrew and LD14 just decided to skip a few steps.
This political stunt is nothing more than a poorly written Censure against Free Speech by ULTRA RINO Andrew Adams over a personal vendetta. The LD14 PCs should be ashamed that they have let their incompetent and un-American Chair mislead them so completely. Andrew, I would be happy to hold a training for you and your PCs on how to properly research and format a censure that doesn’t violate Free Speech, the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and the Republican Party Platform. While I am at it, I would be happy to give you some personal training on how to conduct yourself as the Chair of a Legislative District.
