What a joke. Remember folks, the narrative can only be against Trump and if you break those rules the left will turn on their own.

“At the end of the day, we have political systems,” said Jonathan Kinloch, chairman of the organization. “We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason. 

“They do not belong to themselves,” Kinloch said of endorsed candidates and elected officials. “They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party.”

Up until March, Kinloch was Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's community liaison to southeast Michigan. ...

I'd agree this is pretty much what Trump did to Amash and what he's trying to do to Romney. It's wrong.

Are they censuring her for thanking the President, or for having an unauthorized meeting with him?

How often do members of the opposition party have unauthorized meetings with the President?
