The House voted Wednesday to hold two advisers to former President Trump, Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino, in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas from the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Lawmakers voted almost entirely along party lines, 220-203.

Reps. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), the two Republicans serving on the committee, were the only members of their party to back the resolution.

Cheney kinzinger backed it? BEEP BEEP scumbags

[sauropod]

Traitorous actions.

I don’t know who Peter is, but what does Dan have to do with Jan 6?

[Rurudyne]

In all fairness Congress is full of contemptible low lifes who deserve no respect or consideration and has been for a long time now.

So that means it’s bipartisan according to media rules.

At this point of time, any red blooded american should hold congress in total contempt

[jpp113]

Is there a clause in the Constitution that allows congress the “subpoena power”? Or is it a BS law that Congress themselves passed granting them extra-constitutional powers?

[jpp113]

sorry, it should say “themselves”

[Revel]

Still waiting for something to happen to Eric Holder. Until it does then no republican should be able to be held in contempt of congress.

[Mark17]

Contempt of congress? You mean like Eric Holder? That kind of contempt? It really hurt him, didn’t it? Besides that, I am always in contempt of congress. Many of them are pretty contemptible.

[falcon99]

How can an illegal committee (one not establishe by the rules of the House) be able to supoena anyone.

[Zathras]

I hold Congress in contempt.
Still waiting for all of them to resign.

I think Cheney, in her completely futile effort to appear youngish and girlish and attractive, should add more flip to her hairdo, that she lets hug her face on one side. Maybe get one of those purses that have a long strap that goes over her shoulder.

[Islander7]

Shouldn’t they prosecute Eric ‘The Red’ Holder’s contempt charge before they smear these two?

[Eagles6]

I’d consider it a badge of honor.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I hold Congress in contempt also.

[BigEdLB]

When can they get rid of Lizzy?

[vivenne]

Peter Navarro was Trumps advisor in the WH.

[jimfree]

That’s DOCTOR Navarro, except he doesn’t press it like an insecure Ed.D might. Ph.D. in economics from Harvard.
