BREAKING: @Kim_AbbottMT (D) has released a statement-

“Today we saw Montanans show up and engage in the democratic process, and some of those Montanans were arrested. To me, it’s an incredible statement in support of the trans, nonbinary, and Two Spirit community,” (1/2)
“and against the Republican agenda that would strip our neighbors of their basic rights, dignity, and humanity.” (2/2)

Minority Leader, Kim Abbott (D)
House GOP leadership has released a statement:

“House Republicans condemn violence and will always stand for civil debate and respect for our processes of government. Today’s riot by far-left agitators damages our discourse and endangered legislators and staff,” (1/3)

#Mtpol
“Their actions did not represent Montana values. We want to thank our law enforcement for maintaining order and protecting the safety of everyone at the Capitol. House Leadership will still stand firm in our commitment to decorum, safety, and order.”

(2/3)
“We will uphold the people’s will that sent 68 Republicans to Helena.”  

- Rep. Matt Regier, Rep. Rhonda Knudsen and Rep. Sue Vinton jointly

(3/3)

🧵 House Minority Leader Kim Abbott statement:

“Both the US and Montana Constitutions protect the freedom of speech and the freedom to protest peacefully for citizens. Those rights do not stop at the doors of the Montana House for anybody, and they..”
“certainly don’t for a duly elected Member of this body whose constituents sent her here to be a voice on their behalf.”
"Earlier this week, the Speaker made a wrong decision to silence an elected member of this body. Speaker Regier has a choice: to be a real leader and get the House back on track doing the work the people sent us here to do…”

RIGHT NOW: Planned Parenthood of Montana has released a statement regarding today:

🧵 “In Montana, and across the country, we have seen the most disgraceful, heartless, and targeted attacks on our LGBTQ+ community this legislative session.”
“And today we are witnessing the most unconscionable act of them all: Silencing and forbidding the presence of an elected official and the 11,000 Montanans that sent Rep. Zooey Zephyr to represent them.”
“Representative Zephyr has courageously broken barriers and spoken truth to power, all while being surrounded by colleagues who misgender and tarnish her.”

via email she said:

"MAGA Republicans’ nonstop attacks on a woman’s right to choose have created a climate of fear, confusion, and suffering—and have had a chilling effect on the lifesaving work abortion providers do even in states where abortion remains legal,” - @PattyMurray
@PattyMurray “Our bill is a necessary and commonsense step to protect doctors providing legal abortion care and ensure that doctors in states like Washington can continue to provide essential care without being threatened with jail time or lawsuits by out-of-state extremists.”- @PattyMurray

🧵 How could expelling a member of the Montana House of Representatives work?

Well- again. We find ourselves in uncharted territory.

#Mtpol #Mtnews Image

If a member is expelled:
