The House of Representatives on Thursday voted to hold former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the January 6 Committee.
President Trump urged his supporters to ignore the subpoenas to appear before the Democrat, and Liz Cheney’s, struggle session.
Earlier this week the January 6 Congressional Committee responded to Bannon’s defiance by voting 9-0 to refer Bannon to the DOJ to face criminal contempt charges.
On Thursday the House voted 229-202 with 9 Republican lawmakers voting with the Democrats in favor of the resolution.
The referral will be sent to the US Attorney’s office in DC which will ultimately decide whether to press charges against Bannon.
Here are the 9 Republicans who voted to hold Bannon in contempt:
Cheney
Fitzpatrick
Gonzalez (OH)
Katko
Kinzinger
Mace
Meijer
Upton
Herrera Beutler

Of course Liz Cheney
I can’t stand these Transrepublicans.
Herrera Butler is toast. She represents our district, and barely squeaked to victory over a Carolyn Long, who has ran against Butler twice and gotten very close in this solidly RED district. She should have been beaten in 2020, but I am quite sure she is hanging from her final puppet string.
9 that want to screw us tighter...
Q: How many Republicans are in Congress?
A: Never enough.
Bannon is very smart. If he testifies, they are going to get
a lot more than they think. Bannon is is a Lion ready to come out of the Den.
Nancy Mace said Republicans don’t stand for anything, they are just against things. I assume she is referring to Republicans in Congress.
Some like Miss Mace think it is okey dokey for a Capitol Police Officer to murder an unarmed woman Ashli Babbitt in cold blood. She has not condemned the Justice Department comparing parents, who dare to question School Boards, to domestic terrorists. Nancy Mace has not fought to bring back the Trump American energy policy, or the “build the wall” and “remain in Mexico Policy,” nor has she critiqued the Biden open borders policy, or the Afghanistan debacle. She seems to think the Biden policies are golden.
Maybe Nancy Mace will campaign for Turbine Wind Farms in South Carolina. I suspect she will not want them in Charleston, her home.
It’s off the evening propaganda cycle so it’s clearly forgotten. Much like the debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal and all the other ridiculous decisions made by this administration. Due to the short attention spans of everyone, Thanks to mobile phones and antisocial media we are more likely doomed as a failed country.
Mace was always a Bush League Republican, that seems to be what South Carolina elects.
That is exactly what will happen.
I figured Kinzinger would be one of them.
Bill of atainder light?
Mace, bleeping bleep.
She was a “conservative alternative” to Lindsay Graham a couple elections ago. LOL.
She sites a BS notion that even if she doesn’t agree with a fascist witch hunt it’s “duly formed” so we must respect it’s authoritah. So I guess if she was in Germany in 1939 she’d reluctantly support Hitler’s right to round up Jews because the law is the law.
Poor Katie Arrington should be in that seat.
Cheney, will not be renominated.
Fitzpatrick, probably will win unless he loses to a rat if his seat ends up worse.
Gonzalez (OH), already quit because he was going to lose the primary.
Katko, seat will probably be gerrymandered by the rats.
Kinzinger, seat eliminated by the rats and I think he was gonna be toast anyway.
Mace, has challengers, I think we have great chance of getting rid of her in runoff.
Meijer, has a couple challengers, we’ll see. He’s scum.
Upton, has a strong looking challenger and might get tossed in the same seat as another Republican Rep. I think he’s gone.
Herrera Beutler, unfortunately WA has a stupid top two system. She will probably be reelected in November with rat votes over a real Republican. We need a strong rat to run to ensure she comes in third in the primary and doesn’t advance.
So, no. I think ‘most’ of them will probably not be back.
Interesting. I hope you’re right.
A few observations:
We don’t know with what sort of districts Meijer and Upton will end up, since that stupid “nonpartisan commission” is drawing them and has been all over the place with its maps.
Upton has the advantage of being from a corner district that is not overwhelmingly Republican, while Meijer easily could be given a district where another Republican could beat him (assuming that the anti-Meijer vote isn’t split among several candidates—no run-offs in MI).
SC hasn’t redrawn its districts yet, and presumably the SC-01 will be made more Republican. If that is accomplished by adding very Republican Horry County, then bye-bye Mace, unless Tom Rice (who is from Myrtle Beach, in Horry County) runs there as well and Mace and Rice make it into the run-off because 17 candidates split the conservative vote, in which case SC Republicans would face a no-win situation.
Herrera Buetler’s CD almost certainly will be GOP leaning but not overly Republican (at least that’s how it’s drawn in the two GOP and two Democrat submissions to the “nonpartisan” redistricting committee. The blanket primary will end up with Herrera Buetler and a Democrat in the top two, not Herrera Buetler and a conservative stalwart in the top-two. So not only will Herrera Buetler win, but you’ll be supporting her in the run-off. (It goes without saying that not only is the Washington/California “nonpartisan blanket primary” an affront to democracy and freedom of association, it is unconstitutional despite SCOTUS’s stupid 7-2 decision to uphold it against a facial challenge—it’s one of Clarence Thomas’s biggest goofs on the Court.)
Meijer turned out to be Justin Amash lite.
On a related note, there is zero justification for demanding Bannon testify about the Jan. 6th riots. Bannon was long gone from the Trump administration when they happened. All he could offer is his take on the events as a private citizen watching it unfold.
If Levin really feels that way about Liz Cheney now, he could make amends by apologizing for pimping her candidacy in the first place and cheering on her carpetbagging into Wyoming (Rush should have apologized too but he’s deceased so I’ll give him a pass). Admitting an error in judgment would be a nice act of humility for the “great one” since his fans here used to act like he was infallible all-knowing genius and every opinion he spouted was gospel truth (and if anyone dared disagree with it, it meant they hated the constitution and the founding fathers)
