Anyone who aided the insurrection at the Capitol should be removed from office, and no two were louder in the Republican scramble to claim credit for the violence that played out the morning Congress met to certify the 2020 election results than Senators Cruz and Hawley. Even as it was immediately clear to all of us that the attack was carried out by domestic terrorists, Senators Cruz and Hawley still cast their deeply unpatriotic votes to undermine, and cause irreparable damage to, our election system just a few hours later. Even after their peers and colleagues fled and barricaded themselves in their offices with furniture and prayed, even after Donald Trump fanned the flames of violence from behind his Twitter account. Even after all that, Senators Cruz and Hawley betrayed our nation with their votes to silence the voice of America’s voters. Now, we are calling for their expulsion from the Senate — and of anyone else who joined them in shamefully compromising our country on that day.
