Supporters of Trump’s Electoral College stunt may be expelled from Congress under planned resolution

Republican legislators who challenged Joe Biden’s electoral college victory may be expelled from Congress under a planned resolution.

Newly elected Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) on Wednesday revealed the draft proposal shortly after Trump supporters broke into the Capitol, causing chaos and destruction. The crowd delayed the counting of Biden’s election victory under the baseless pretext that the election was “stolen,” as President Donald Trump has often repeated.

“I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences,” Bush said in a statement. “They have broken their sacred Oath of Office.”

Don’t assume this won’t go anywhere. I thought I heard Pelosi say the members who voted against Biden electors had violated their oaths, or some kinds of words like that. Don’t assume Pelosi won’t try to expel some GOP members. Schumer too.

So basically, anyone who disagrees with me or opposes me is violating their oath before God.

Didn’t the Brownshirts have people on the sidelines in the Reichstag to encourage proper voting? Maybe they should try that. Nip these problems in the bud.

Opposing vote-rigging is now a “stunt”?

Not gonna happen.

(1) This may not be constitutional.

(2) The GOP is likely to take over in 2022, and could use this precedent to expel Swalwell, Alcee Hastings and a host of others.

And we’ll still be here typing and crying instead of armed and trying to take back our country, peacefully, but showing up armed en masse.

so go wrings your hands and cry.

Or let it go.

Cause you ain’t gonna do anything real about it.

We’ll type and cry for 4 years.

But everyone will remind me every now and then that there are FOUR BAZILLION GUNS IN THE COUNTRY!!

:)

I guess dems were right.

They are for hunting.

“ This may not be constitutional.”

House and Senate get to decide who they will or won’t seat.

This is because the election was a fraud and they all knowingly defrauded the American people.... they are behaving as if they are guilty.

Expel all those that supported BLM’s looting and rioting and chaos.

Oh, wait, that was okay, because the people suffering were regular Americans having their small businesses torched, never mind.

Broken their sacred oath of office? The part where it says ‘to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and Domestic’?

Appears as though this new twit is a clear and present danger.

Where exactly is constitutionality to be upheld these days?

And just how is our now-established system of election fraud going to allow any type of GOP majority that would do anything about it?

I want the GOP to die! They showed us their true colors last night. They are far more dangerous than Democrats. They betrayed our President and us the voters. They can never be trusted with power again.

Why are these Nazis so proud of themselves for such vile behavior?

They brag about their lawlessness and abuse of civil rights?

Do they not see that they are condemning themselves in history?

Per the constitution requires a 2/3 vote of the membership. The one “modern” republican who has shown leadership is Kevin McCarthy and it would be suicide for him to allow such a vote to succeed. The GOP already committed suicide, so a lot of rank and file GOP can jump off the cliff if they so wish.

The American people are now being governed by the inmates of the asylum. And, the “Republican Party” is complicit in this insanity. And, the insane are actively and openly discussing the persecution of those who disagree with them and there’s nary a peep from the “Republican Party” condemning any of it.
