Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said the Senate should consider removing Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) via the 14th Amendment over their objections last week to the Electoral College results.
Speaking to PBS's "Firing Line" on Friday night, Manchin said the Senate should explore the option after a violent mob, riled up by President Trump and convinced by Republicans such as Hawley and Cruz that the election was fraudulent, ransacked the Capitol in one of the darkest points in American democracy.
"That should be a consideration," Manchin responded when asked if the 14th Amendment should be triggered. "He understands that. Ted's a very bright individual, and I get along fine with Ted, but what he did was totally outside of the realm of our responsibilities or our privileges."

It’s the left. Throw them a bone and wink to his friends.
Not concerned with fraud, only those who bring attention to and oppose the fraud
We don’t want people in Congress who actually won their elections fair-and-square.
Manchin deserves a recall petition. And so does every democrat as well. And Liz Cheney.
Josh Hawley is a hero. God bless him.
I would think it more appropriate to remove Cruz for his claim that he is eligible to serve as POTUS.
But then, Karmelballs is not eligible either. So? What was the question?
LOL! Yeah, go ahead and try it. See how far you get.
yet some on here will say he should switch sides
He voted to convict Trump. He’s a play moderate.
So, West Virginia how do you like your wannabe Beria?
Removing two senators from office for simply wanting an audit of the ballots to see if the guy legitimately won would create a Freddy Krueger level nightmare scenario
Jovan Pulitzer completely nailed them on voter fraud.
I tried to read his impressive bio. No way anyone has time right now to read it all. But a skim will blow the mind:

How about we cut a deal; give them Cruz and keep Hawley?
Didn’t think about that can West Virgina recall Manchin? Seems like he’d be perfect to be recalled if he supported this
“Any semblance of moderation is only a facade, designed to lull the gullible.”
We have one of those in Arizona, a well dressed woman named Sinema who votes straight left, but her votes are never stressed by media, and she is designated “a moderate.” It’s all crap.
Soros money goes a long way. Let’s face it, the government of the United States is corrupt through and through.
and Mitt Romney. I wish Utah would get rid of him.
