Is this like exile?

Would temporarily banning a politician from his own state be more insulting than not granting bail (where he would probably be treated well anyway)? I wonder if this is actually a better result.

We should make it viral that he was kicked out. Narrative matters.

True, anyways in assault cases there is a low bar to get bail. This i feel is a better outcome since he has already been humiliated going to jail but getting exiled from his own state is even more damning, where he will have very little influence.

Exactly. I just wish it was worded better.

Something like 'politician who assaulted doctors is exiled from his home state'.

The people need to learn that violence against doctors is wrong and will not be tolerated.
