The Maricopa County Republican Committee voted to censure former Republican Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake on Saturday.
The resolution passed by a 1,190 to 291 vote at the meeting, which was held at Dream City Church in Glendale, the Arizona Republic reported.
Flake, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, chose not to run for reelection in 2018 and endorsed President-elect Joe Biden over Trump in 2020.
Some confusion centered around the purported inclusion of Cindy McCain, wife of the late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, in the censure resolution. While Arizona’s Republican Party tweeted initially that McCain had been censured, they later corrected the news, stating that McCain’s censure was discussed and even cheered, but the resolution to censure Flake couldn’t “be amended from the floor.”
