Chuck Edwards just got the formal boot from his own colleagues

Original version ·

It turns out even a house full of politicians has a line they won't let people cross.

So, Chuck Edwards managed to do the impossible: get his own peers to unite against him. The House Ethics Committee took a long look at accusations regarding two young staff members, and the result wasn't pretty.

It wasn't just a handful of people either—the vote was truly bipartisan. Politicians are famous for protecting their own, so when they actually bother to officially censure one of their own, things must have been pretty egregious.

It is almost impressive that in this polarized mess, everyone suddenly found common ground on who the problem was.
