The York County Republican committee voted on Saturday to censure Keystone State Sen. Pat Toomey.

"Saturday, February 13th, the York County Republican committee voted to censure U.S. Senator Pat Toomey for his voting record which is replete with positions that are counter to the principles of the Republican party and being out of touch with the core beliefs of the People of Pennsylvania," according to a press release.

Toomey, who has announced that he will not run for reelection in 2022, was among the seven GOP senators to vote to convict Trump during the vote at the Senate impeachment trial on Saturday. 

“For the past four years Senator Toomey sat silently as a hyper-partisan Democrat Congress relentlessly attacked President Trump, impeaching him twice on fabricated charges. Given his recent support of the second unconstitutional impeachment effort against a President who is no longer in office the York County Republican Committee has reached the limits of its frustration,” GOP state Rep. Dawn Keefer, said in a statement.

While the impeachment vote was 57-43, Trump was acquitted as lawmakers failed to clear the two-thirds supermajority required to secure a conviction on the single article of impeachment.
