GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert, Mo Brooks and Matt Gaetz could face a censure vote in Congress next week – twitchy.com

Fox News’ Chad Pergram is reporting that House GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert, Mo Brook and possibly Matt Gaetz could face a censure vote next week:

1) Senior Democratic lawmakers tell Fox to expect a censure resolution in the House in the coming days for Reps. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Mo Brooks (R-AL). Fox is told there could also be consequences for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).

But we don’t have any details on just what would be in the censure resolution:

2) No resolution of prospective discipline has yet been shared with Fox. Nor is Fox aware of what the specific grievances would be if the House were to consider sanctions for these members.

The House has three formal modes of discipline: reprimand, censure and expulsion.

— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 10, 2021

Censure is a rarely-used method of discipline for House members but it only takes a simple majority vote, which Dems certainly have:

3) The House has only censured 23 members in its history. The last was former Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) in 2010. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote. The House has only expelled five members in history. But censure and reprimand require a simple majority.

We’ll keep you posted.

Republicans can’t do what Democrats can do. Don’t these guys know this?

"We cannot choose representatives to represent us. We cannot say what we want or communicate. We cannot get justice in the courts, and the communists are not charged for the same crimes. Our elections are stolen and thoroughly corrupt."

Similar circumstances that led to the Revolutionary War. I don't even have a District Representative (NY-22nd) in Congress yet. Republican Claudia Tenney who lost in 2018 by less than 1 percent, was 28,000 votes ahead on November 3rd. By the next day, there was a difference of about 100 votes. They found ballots in desk drawers, found ballots in another place. Had 2,500 disputed absentee ballots, that are now being fought over in court overseen by a Democrat Judge. She's supposedly 29 ahead, but we've been here before, and 10 weeks after the election, still no winner.

[RE: The Dems just guaranteed that these men will win their GOP primaries against all challengers.

Do you still trust and believe that elections anywhere will be fair after what just happened?]


You know how Freepers joke that Republicans need to win by more than the margin of Democratic vote theft? It’s not a joke.

Did anyone happen to ask Chad what he thinks about this absurd treatment?

Not that Chad cares, but I’d love someone to ask him.

Yes elections are handled by each county according to state laws in which the county resides.
Not all counties conduct fraud in elections.

Presidential election is national, and Democrat majority counties can add enough fraudulent votes in the mix to sway results.

He who keeps finding last batch of votes will always win because he knows how many fraud ballots are needed to win.

[He who keeps finding last batch of votes will always win because he knows how many fraud ballots are needed to win.]


If unlimited vote fraud were possible, they’d have gotten super-majorities every chance they could. They’d be tossing conservatives in gulags. There are limits, and the more of it they do, the greater the chance of discovery.

Dan Patrick, Lt Governor-TX, offered $1m for evidence of vote fraud that will stand up in court. You know what people in the areas that do this kind of stuff would do for $1m, now? They’d sell their own mothers. It’s likely that it’s very distributed, with no one knowing of an overall coordinator.

THAT is why they are upset about the President’s speech, he pointed alot of the fraud out and how to fix it.

Lindsey Graham wanted the Capitol Police to use deadly force. Obviously they did. But he wanted it used on everyone.

I hope the people of South Carolina are hearing about that and doing something to make him persona non grata in the state as he clearly does not represent the people of the Palmetto State.

Aaaannnnnnnddddd...anyone notice that Swalwell, who for cryin’ out loud had a sexual relationship with a known Chinese SPY, is under no threat of censure? Anyone notice that Omar and Tlaib, with their vicious antisemitic remarks, fraud, and crime have not been censured? Or Tumid Toomey, playing with himself while on camera? This just goes to show you what a farce “censure vote” is as handled by libtards. Means less than passing wind in a tornado.

I want to see a legitimate monthly poll of Independents and Conservative Democrats on the Rat party. After saying that, I really don’t know how the GOP survives. I truly believe we will demand a new purified conservative party...
