Methinks you misunderstood the article, the REPUBLICAN leadership is punishing other REPUBLICAN members for fighting Democrat electoral theft.
Note Democrats rarely discipline other Democrats publicly no matter what they do, (eg Alcee Hastings, Bill Clinton, Eric Swalwell).
Schumer's going after Feinstein is a very rare triple exception, since she is not only a Dem, but a woman, and a fellow Jew.
I might not understand it correctly but it was the Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (not Jeff but Geee off) ... I’m sure legislative bodies love being told from the executive branch.
