Congresswoman calls for expulsion of MAGA members who helped incite riot

Congresswoman calls for expulsion of members who helped incite MAGA riot to commemorate Jan. 6 anniversary
December 27, 2021

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush declared Monday that lawmakers should commemorate the upcoming one-year anniversary of the deadly January 6 attack by passing her resolution to "investigate and expel the members of Congress who helped incite the violent insurrection at our Capitol."

"They have broken their sacred oath of office."

The Missouri Democrat took office just a few days before the attack and announced House Resolution 25 just hours after a right-wing mob—encouraged by then-President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans' lies about the November 2020 election—launched the attack.

Bush's resolution—backed by 54 other Democrats—states that the House Committee on Ethics "shall investigate, and issue a report on, whether any and all actions taken by members of the 117th Congress who sought to overturn the 2020 presidential election violated their oath of office to uphold the Constitution," or the chamber's rules, and should be removed.

but we'll hear about how it's 'not on the table' or 'we need to move forward' or some other lame platitude to keep Congress from actually having to do anything...

I don't see why she wouldn't unless she knew there weren't enough votes to pass it.

Fat chance of it ever happening, but I like seeing people on our side throwing whatever they have at the wall to see what might stick. We need to keep throwing.
