[Lnc-business] Motion to censure Benjamin Leder

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I would usually agree here Mr. Goldstein, but it was the domestic terrorism
flavour that changed my mind.  No one thinks he won't be out on the first
round, but he has entree into national media spaces right now, and we have
to protect our party and make it clear we condemn domestic terrorism.
McVey was just "some guy" until he wasn't.
