Ted Cruz Expelled From Congress?! - The Damage Report

[ItsjustMe]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls for expulsion for Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for encouraging the Capitol Hill attack. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

1. Clickbait headline. Ted Cruz has NOT been expelled from congress.

3. NJ, there's a question mark though. I do have the feeling you agree that Cruz and Hawley as well...

should be expelled.

2. Reps. Brooks, Gosar and Biggs should be expelled also.

Ali Alexander, who publicly took credit for participating in organizing the rally that lead to the insurrection is on record on a video that Gosar and Biggs worked with him on the planning. Alexander has since, I've heard, gone into hiding. That must be the case as I've not heard of his arrest, and he certainly should be apprehended.

We all saw Rep. Brooks excitedly and loudly from the podium calling for everyone at the pre-insurrection rally to start "taking down names and kicking ass." There is absolutely no doubt that he is guilty of fomenting violence.

4. Gosar and Biggs asked for pardons...

although I did read somewhere that several other elected officials did as well.

Arizona Republican Congressmen Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar have asked President Donald Trump to preemptively pardon them for their roles in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, but the president has no plans to do so, CNN reported Tuesday.

5. IMO that's an admission of guilt. You'd think these grown ass men...

government officials, would have better sense than to act like post-adolescent, campus radicals exhorting a crowd of similar age to take the administration building.

Silly...and stupid.

6. How can they remain seated in an institution they clearly don't believe in?

That Cruz is on track to get a very nice pension galls me to no end. Hawley shouldn't be allowed to get a sniff of one.

7. If anything, all MoC have a duty, a responsibility to expel these seditionists.

Even if that means there’s a 137 of them. They need to be held accountable for their actions.

8. Do it. Play HARDBALL. NOW. Don't Delay.
