TL;DR Summary

The Arizona House of Representatives has expelled GOP member Liz Harris after an ethics committee found she committed "disorderly behavior" by lying about false testimony given during a February legislative hearing on elections. Harris invited a speaker to testify at the hearing who baselessly accused Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, Republican House Speaker Ben Toma, Maricopa County leaders, and local judges of accepting bribes from a drug cartel. The decision to punish Harris amounted to a rare moment of Republicans holding one of their own to account for spreading false claims about elections and democratic institutions.
