The Newest Member of The Squad, Rep Cori Bush pushes the ouster of GOP Reps who questioned the election results. My prediction is that she will fall flat on her face like all Squad members seem to do. People might like you if you are a little bit crazy but not so much when you are totally insane. In order to remove them from the House requires a 2/3rds majority.
Democrats control 222 seats, therefore to expel a member 68 Republicans would have to go along with it. Bush claims members of the House instigated the violence at the Capitol. The laughable part of her claim is that GOP members tried to undo a crooked election. The Democrats tried for four years to overthrow the 2016 election. Do you suppose Bush realizes just how pathetic she looks?
Bush said:
“Tomorrow, I’m introducing my resolution to expel the members of Congress who tried to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist coup attempt that has left people dead, violated the 14th Amendment”.
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, referenced by Bush and in Pelosi’s press release, explicitly states that “No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”
But, here’s the rub. They didn’t engage in rebellion, they voted in the constitutionally approved way. And to remove a Senator like Cruz, 18 GOP Senators would have to vote to expel him and the only ones who would do such a thing would be Mitt Romney and possibly Lisa Murkowski and Ben Sasse. Hopefully, all three will be voted out of office.
Tomorrow, I’m introducing my resolution to expel the members of Congress who tried to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist coup attempt that has left people dead. They have violated the 14th Amendment.

We can’t have unity without accountability.
Bush swiftly announced her intention to take action against Republican members of Congress following the chaos that erupted at the U.S. Capitol last week, accusing her GOP colleagues of inciting a “domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election”:
98% of the calls my office has received from Missouri’s 1st District about my resolution to expel—and also @Ilhan and my resolution to impeach—have been in support.

St. Louis, I hear you loud and clear. We’re in this fight together.
Other members of the far-left “Squad” have openly embraced taking action, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who called on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarty (R-CA) to resign for what she claims is their role in inciting the chaos that occurred in the nation’s capital on January 6.
Faço votos que a Suprema Corte deixe de protelar o julgamento dos processos que lhe foram apresentados, para fazer JUSTIÇA!
Frankly any elected official wasting taxpayer dollars on ridiculous lawsuits like this one where white people are labeled and slandered as “white supremacists” should be counter sued for slander and degradation of character. Not every white person is a “white supremacist” just like not every black person is a criminal.
Furthermore, there were people from all walks of life there supporting President Trump. There were blacks, latinos, whites, Asians. This representative need to see the total cost of damages and deaths from BLM and Antifa riots for 5 years have cost cities. Those are your real terrorist as well as the Democratic party (communist) who turned blind eyes on these activities and only to sponsor and bailout these criminals.
Putting the word white supremacists aside, if ALL Republicans gathered there and we truly wanted a coup, it would have happened.
Furthermore, if Cori Bush is going to waste time attacking race, then she needs to be recalled, because obviously she doesn’t realize she represents all people, not just the ones she wants to cherry pick. This is counter productive. She is an “elected civil servants” for We the People.
