Cori Bush introduces legislation to sanction, remove all House members who supported election challenges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) has introduced a resolution to have the Republican members of the House who supported contesting battleground states’ electors in Wednesday’s joint session of Congress be investigated and potentially removed from office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution comes after President Trump<\/a> supporters, who had converged on Washington, D.C., for a rally to contest the results of November’s general election that Trump lost, rioted and stormed the U.S. Capitol building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chaos led to lawmakers and members being trapped inside the Capitol, resulting in the mobilization of the D.C., Virginia and Maryland national guards. D.C.’s mayor also issued a 6 p.m. curfew for the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I believe the Republican members of Congress who have incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election must face consequences,” the progressive lawmaker tweeted. “They have broken their sacred Oath of Office. I will be introducing a resolution calling for their expulsion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
