B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have “blood on their hands”. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
@GJGreenlea how is it that we have even come to this point? How is it that we are at a place where one party is so bold that they would silence a speaker from a rival party in such a blatant and obvious way? I just can’t believe that they are this flagrant in not only their disrespect towards another duly elected official, but in their distain for an entire subset of their own constituents. Missoula isn’t the only population of Trans People in Montana.
