Meet Your Local Republican Insurrectionist

[FM123]

(Huffington Post) A new HuffPost tally finds over 20 GOP state and local lawmakers or officials were at the D.C. rally that turned into a violent insurrection. Here are their names. At least 21 state and local Republican officials attended the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., that turned into a violent riot, according to a new HuffPost tally, many of whom are now under pressure to resign.

They traveled from 16 different states, arriving for the “Stop the Steal” demonstration on the White House Ellipse, where they watched President Donald Trump tell incendiary lies about having been robbed of reelection. He then told the crowd of thousands to march on the Capitol.

In the crowd that day were 13 members of state Houses or Assemblies; three state senators; a county commissioner; a city council member; a GOP congressional district chair; a district director; and a co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party. The group also includes a QAnon conspiracy theorist; a self-described member of a fascist militia; and a man who once declared that “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”

Derrick Evans, Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates
Couy Griffin, Republican county commissioner in Otero County, New Mexico

1. They need to be removed from office and trialed for treason.

FBI NEEDS TO KNOCK ON THE DOORS OF THESE TRAITORS NOW.

They ARE more dangerous than the others in attendance.

[Miguelito Loveless]

2. They cannot be charged with treason.

sedition and conspiracy yes, but not treason.

[SCantiGOP]

15. Most only attended the rally

Peaceful assembly is a protected right. Most of them aren’t subject to arrest or censure.

[Ziggysmom]

4. The stupid runs deep with these!

[gibraltar72]

5. My small South Central Mi. county sent

two city councilmen, one county commissioner, treasurer of the county party, member of city TIFA commission. That is five that I know of probably a couple who haven't bragged about it.

6. Any idea of who paid their travel and lodging expenses?

KY..........

[housecat]

8. excellent point!

[gibraltar72]

14. I'm guessing they paid their own. Quite a fervor here.

They filled two buses. The councilmen are affiliated with white grievance college.

[Harker]

10. Yet. n/t

[hibbing]

7. All future members of Congress n/t

[kairos12]

9. Traitors all. Vile scum.

[mountain grammy]

11. and the trump campaign in for $2.7 million

I'm sure it got a lot of them there.

[bringthePaine]

12. charge and try for sedition, insurrection, property crimes, etc

[PatrickforO]

13. They must be removed from office for treason, and then face criminal charges.

I'm SICK of these fanatics. Let's take the gloves off and put a bunch of them in prison. Due process, fair trials, but TRAITORS BELONG IN PRISON.

[SCantiGOP]

16. Attending a rally is not illegal

And it is certainly not treason.
The article is not alleging that these people were involved in the Capitol takeover.

[AwakeAtLast]

17. My representative fanned the flames at the rally by invoking Hitler

And then had to be evacuated with the rest of the Congress when they acted on her words. She was definitely involved.

Mary Miller - R Illinois

I'm so proud.

[PatrickforO]

19. As I said, if a crime has been committed, then due process. If prison ensues, great.

As to attending rallies, fine. But storming our Capitol WAS illegal, and that is what I was referring to in my post.

[AwakeAtLast]

18. Thank you for posting this!

Derrick Evans took up most of the media outrage (understandably), but I completely missed that my very own representative, Mary Miller - R IL - actually invoked Hitler in her comments at the rally. I firmly believe that there should have been much more of a media outcry about her comments. Yes, there were calls for her resignation, but I don't feel like there was enough outrage to actually make her do it. She only apologized. I am very embarrassed to say that she is my representative.

Thanks again!
