More than two-thirds of the 1,801 delegates at the North Carolina Republican Party’s convention on Saturday voted to censure U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, a moderate Republican who has backed some LGBTQ+ rights and gun control policies.
More than two-thirds of the 1,801 delegates at the North Carolina Republican Party’s convention on Saturday voted to censure U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis, a moderate Republican who has backed LGBTQ+ rights and gun control policies, while breaking with his party on hardline immigration measures. “We need people who are unwavering in their support for conservative ideals,” Jim Forster, an 81-year-old delegate, told the Associated Press.
“His recent actions don’t reflect the party’s shift to the right—in fact, they’re moving in the exact wrong direction.” Tillis, who took office as a U.S. senator in 2015, worked to pass the Respect for Marriage Act last year, which enshrined legal protections for same-sex and interracial marriages.
