John, the January 6th House Select Committee just revealed that several Republicans in Congress – like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Matt Gaetz – tried to get a presidential pardon after the insurrection and taking part in Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election.
This is just one of the many shocking revelations that have come out of the bipartisan Committee’s public hearings. And frankly, how close we came to total disaster should horrify every one of us who cares about free and fair elections.
Sign the Petition: Anyone who helped Trump try to overthrow our democracy has no business representing us. These members must resign immediately or be expelled from Congress.
New evidence reveals that at least six GOP House representatives joined Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and other Trump associates in requesting a preemptive presidential pardon after the insurrection: Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ), Rep. Mo Brooks (AL), Rep. Matt Gaetz (FL), Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Rep. Scott Perry (PA). [1]
Their actions speak for themselves – especially as new findings from the January 6th Committee reveal how Trump and those close to him knew their claims about the 2020 election weren’t true… yet proceeded to make them anyway.
And even since their shameful conduct before and during the insurrection, these members have continued parroting Trump’s Big Lie. This dangerous disinformation has fueled a wave of voter suppression laws, violent threats against election workers, and profound damage to the public’s trust in our democracy.
Add your name if you agree: These Trump Republicans took an oath to uphold our Constitution – but instead, they joined Trump’s plot to subvert it. They simply can’t get away with this.
These representatives have failed their constituents and put Donald Trump’s Big Lie ahead of their solemn duty to this country. We absolutely cannot allow them to remain in Congress.
Thanks for speaking out today,
