The Arizona House of Representatives voted to expel Liz Harris on Wednesday for violating ethics.
, unanimously agreed in its report against Harris, saying that her decision to invite Breger to the committee hearing"violated the inherent obligation to protect the integrity of the House."
The Ethics Committee also rejected previous testimony from Harris, who said she was unaware that Breger would make the criminal allegations against public officials before the joint committee. The report, however, pointed to text messages exchanged between Harris and Breger that show the ex-lawmaker was"not taken by surprise" by Breger's perfomance.
Following the presentation, Republican Arizona Speaker of the House Ben Toma said in a statement that Breger's speech was"disgraceful fringe theater," adding,"I'm not alone in believing that it was irresponsible and bad judgment for Ms. Harris to invite a person to present unsubstantiated and defamatory allegations in a legislative forum."on Wednesday after Harris was expelled from office, saying,"This is a sad day for our institution. But a necessary day.
"Misinformation, lies, and conspiracies are not harmless, and it's not just politics," Cano continued."The defamatory allegations that Representative Harris invited her guest speaker to make are patently absurd, but there are many people who believe them." "The integrity of our institution was damaged in that moment," he continued."That damage continues to accumulate, and for that there must be accountability."
