The campaign to expel any Member of Congress that will not denounce the violent insurrection is growing. In a letter to her caucus, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she will support a discussion on invoking the 14th amendment and Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown has called for Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to be expelled. All 147 Republicans must be willing to condemn the violent insurrection that took place. This was not a rally that got out of control. This was not a protest that turned violent unexpectedly. These people came to the Capitol straight from a Trump rally with the expressed goal to stop the certification and overturn the election. These people brought zip ties, semi-automatic weapons, Molotov cocktails, and pipe bombs. They brought nooses and hunted through the Capitol building shouting “where’s Nancy.” They came within inches of breaching the Senate chamber before officers were able to get it secured. They intended to do harm and many of them will now go to jail. But if we don’t act, the terrorists will still have enablers and supporters selling their message on the floor of Congress. If we don’t expel Members of Congress who supported an attempted coup, then it’s only a matter of time before the next attack.
At least 6 people are dead. The vicious mob murdered two Capitol police officers. Others were chased, dragged, beaten, or crushed with more than 4 dozen officers sustaining injuries. Last Wednesday, a violent mob of insurrectionists attempted a coup in our nation’s Capitol. Members of Congress who won’t denounce it as a violent insurrection are aiding and abetting those who want to bring down our country and destroy our democracy -- and every single one of them must be expelled. Thank you for adding your name. Every leader in Washington needs to know America is watching. — Tre Tre Graves, Campaign Organizer Yvette Simpson, DFA's CEO, on ABC’s This Week makes the case that Democrats can walk and chew gum at the same time. Impeachment must happen and it doesn’t have to slow down our agenda. Check it out, like and share with friends: ![]() |
