North Carolina Republican delegates voted Saturday to censure U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis<\/a> for allegedly straying from conservative values with his stances on immigration and LGBTQ+ rights.<\/p>\n

At the state party’s annual convention in Greensboro,<\/a> delegates accused the senator of violating key principles of the Republican platform. The censure needed two-thirds majority to pass, and there were 1,801 voting delegates present.<\/p>\n

Tillis, who has served in the Senate since 2015, is known for his willingness to compromise with Democrats<\/a> on issues such as immigration, gun violence and LGBTQ+ rights. He worked on the Respect For Marriage Act last year, which gave federal protections to interracial and same-sex marriages.<\/p>\n

Tillis also supported funding for red flag laws, which give state courts power to remove firearms from people who may pose a threat to others or themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We need people who are unwavering in their support for conservative ideals,” 81-year-old delegate Jim Forster told the Associated Press. “His recent actions don’t reflect the party’s shift to the right \u2013 in fact, they’re moving in the exact wrong direction.”<\/p>\n

But other delegates disagreed with the censure, fearing it would divide Republicans further. State Senator Jim Burgin told the Associated Press that the vote sets a dangerous precedent for the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I believe that a mob mentality doesn’t do us any good,” North Carolina State Senator Bobby Hanig argued. “Senator Tillis does a lot for North Carolina, he does a lot for the coastal communities, so why would I want to make him mad?”<\/p>\n

Tillis spokesperson Daniel Keylin defended the senator’s conservatism to Fox News Digital, citing his support for conservative legislation.<\/p>\n

“He will never apologize for his work passing the largest tax cut in history, introducing legislation to secure the border and end sanctuary cities, delivering desperately-needed funding to strengthen school safety and protecting the rights of churches to worship freely based on their belief in traditional marriage,” Keylin said.<\/p>\n
