@ZacMcCrary @greggiroux @HowardMortman @NBCNews I don't think he was formally kicked out of the House Democratic Caucus. By that point though, in 2002, he was estranged from the party, and Republicans wanted no part of him amid corruption conviction. But he was expelled by the GOP-majority House in a near-unanimous vote. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZacMcCrary @greggiroux @HowardMortman @NBCNews The Closest I can think of is then-Rep. Phil Gramm (Texas) in 1983 being stripped of his House Budget Committee seat by House Democrats for backing the Reagan agenda. Gramm then resigned and won his seat back as a Republican. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZacMcCrary @HowardMortman @greggiroux @NBCNews It's the first and only instance I'm aware of that happening. And yes, it's absolutely the principled thing to do in a party switch — why it's so rare. — PolitiTweet.org
