Virginia s state Senate voted 24-9 on Wednesday to censure state Sen. Amanda Chase (R), a gubernatorial candidate, over actions including her attendance at a Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington and her praise for the rioters who struck the Capitol after the event.
While Chase s praise of the rioters as patriots was a final straw for some lawmakers, the censure resolution also incorporated incidents such as cursing at a state Capitol Police Officer during a dispute over a parking spot.
