A Piece of The Why of Republican Obstruction of the 1/6 Commission and Why Dems Must Go It Alone
Neo Fascists In Suits And Dresses
Almost two hundred Republican members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives who publicly supported the former sitting president’s attempted coup hid under desks and chairs like the sniveling, spineless cowards they are when the armed and violent Trump domestic terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol during the Electoral College certification of the Presidential election of Joe Biden looking to cause harm or kill Democratic leaders including Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi, third in line to the Presidency.
The terrorists also were looking for former Vice-President Mike Pense who Trump had labeled not loyal enough when he refused to overturn the election results during the Electoral College vote. The terrorists ‘chanted’ “hang Mike Pense”; they already had constructed a functioning gallows on the Capitol grounds.
The terrorist assault resulted in the death of at least five, including a Capitol police officer.
A few hours later, these same traitors who hid under their chairs and desks rose as the neo-fascists they are to once again attempt the coup. They returned to the vote and continued their attempts to overturn the legitimate election. Their egregious attacks on democracy happened in plain sight and their actions require no investigation.
Here are the names of every Republican senator and member of the House who voted to sustain objections to certifying the electoral results in two states where Trump lost, Arizona and Pennsylvania, despite no evidence of fraud. The full House tallies for each vote are here and here; the Senate votes are here and here.
In the USA Senate:
- Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
- Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)
- Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.)
