Minority Leader Cathy Tilton said no one thing led to the decision but that Eastman's actions “caused disruption and threaten the cohesion of the caucus.'
Tilton said his actions have “caused disruption and threaten the cohesion of the caucus” and said he has become more of a “distraction” from the caucus’ ability to advance its policy agenda.
She said Eastman can represent his constituents in any manner he deems appropriate. She said there was no specific incident that prompted the action now but described there being a buildup. Eastman’s style has at times alienated and frustrated members of his own party, some of whom said his unpredictability had cost Republicans a shot at organizing a majority to control the House in 2019 and 2020 and campaigned for his Republican primary challenger in 2020.
