George Pyle’s opinion in the Jan. 12 Tribune (“Stewart and Owens must go ...”) is worthy of time and consideration by every elected official in Utah. I’m sorry Rep. John Curtis (who suggests that we shouldn’t rush impeachment) we have had four years and longer to watch as T---- has spread his lies and disruption into the willing ears of Republicans. Impeachment would certainly not be a rush. It should not go without mention that Republicans running for president in the 2016 primaries warned us as to how dangerous and incompetent T---- was. They could see it then, but because T---- beguiled his followers with the ubiquitous assistance of the conservative media, all of those individuals - including Sens. Mike Lee and Orrin Hatch - fell into sycophantic mode and enabled him. Rep. Chris Stewart has been a constant defender and now, newly elected Rep. Burgess Owens is using is new office to telecast his T---- bonafides.
