Rogers herself was one of the three senators to vote against her own censure.
Shortly after the censure, a defiant Rogers took to Twitter to attack the colleagues who voted against her.
“I do not apologize, I will not back down and I am sorely disappointed in the leadership of this body for colluding with the Democrats to attempt to destroy my reputation,” Rogers wrote. “In the end, I rejoice in knowing I do and say what is right and I speak as a free American regardless of the actions of this corrupted process today.”
