Some Democrats are using the anniversary of last year’s Capitol riot on January 6 to launch an effort to win the 2022 midterm elections by disqualifying Republicans who supported the effort to challenge the 2020 elections results as “insurrectionists.”
The effort, spearheaded by Russia hoaxer Marc Elias, aims to use a provision of the post-Civil War 14th Amendment that was crafted to disqualify former Confederates or anyone who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” from holding federal office. Elias has pushed the effort for months:
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress…who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress…shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."-US Constitution

My prediction for 2022: Before the midterm election, we will have a serious discussion about whether individual Republican House Members are disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from serving in Congress.
We may even see litigation. pic.twitter.com/pF7P2fw0kn

Elias is the main election lawyer for the Democratic Party nationwide and has worked closely with national party leaders.
Liberal groups — one even calling itself “Free Speech For People” — are following suit. In a press statement Wednesday, they said:
Nonprofit public interest organizations Free Speech For People and Our Revolution today announced a partnership to urge Secretaries of State to bar elected officials who engaged in the January 6, 2021 insurrection from appearing on any future ballot.

This is another one of those phookers that needs to hang.
We are definitely gonna need more rope.
This will fail.
What insurrection!! PHOOEY!!!!
“Jan 6” is really January 6—Theophany!!!! Let’s keep it that way, and shut the vile Dims up!!!!
When the election fraud is exposed then a LOT of them will be covered by this.
Oh, so its ok when they have a revolution
It might work. I mean, who’s going to oppose them? The courts will declare there is no standing. They will declare that there is no damage until after the election, at which time they will declare it is too late.
It’s all the Dems have are these false accusations, like Russia, they are pathetic and the media that carries their water is even worse.
The ‘issue’ is never the ‘issue’. The ‘issue’ is ALWAYS the REVOLUTION!................
Maxine Waters supported the 1992 LA Riot, which she called “an uprising.” There are probably dozens of examples of Democrats supporting AIM, Occupy, Code Pink, Black Panthers, BLM, Antifa...
Nov 3-4 2020 was the insurrection. Jan 6 2021 was the protest against the criminals who rigged the election.
What group had a “sit in” or something a few years ago. Wasn’t it during the Kavanaugh hearings that people were banging on doors etc?
Nobody has been charged with the crime of insurrection. This is slander and should be treated as such.

Some patriots should simply "disappear" him.
This is what happens when you don’t have an opposition party. Dems and their Fake News operatives are making a pinata out of President Trump and anybody who supports him. They are free to continue with their slander because the GOP has gone AWOL from the political battlefield.
Well, then, CHARGE those who are in jail for “insurrection”. Not one of them is charged for this.
They’ve been in jail for a year, with no court dates. Political prisoners, pure and simple.
They seem to always accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of.
