A Black nonbinary Democratic representative in the Oklahoma House of Representatives was censured after House Republicans accused her of impeding a law enforcement investigation into an assault on a fellow House member and a state trooper during a protest over transgender rights in the Capitol last month.

Rep. Mauree Turner, D-Oklahoma City, allegedly hid a person in her office who had thrown water at Rep. Bob Ed Culver, R-Tahlequah, after the House passed a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors on Feb. 28.
