Montana’s House of Representatives voted to ban Democratic transgender lawmaker Zooey Zephyr from the chamber, following her support for protesters who shut down the body's proceedings earlier in the week.
Rep. Zephyr of Missoula will still be allowed to vote remotely, but will not be allowed to access the House chamber, anteroom or gallery. Democrats were united against the motion, while Republicans all voted in favor. The measure needed two-thirds of the chamber’s support to pass.
Tom Kuglin, of the Helena Independent Record, joined LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss the censure vote and the events leading up to it.
