All of our House Republican representatives voted “no” on impeachment of a president who incited a riot that put the lives of the entire congressional body in danger, with the purpose of causing sedition. This, after falsely claiming for months that he won an election he lost, and threatening state elected officials to “find votes” that ironically, would create the fraudulent election he claimed.

My question is, if not impeachment for this, what else would a president have to do?

Oh right, be a Democrat.

It didn’t take long for Reps. Blake Moore and Burgess Owens to show what we can expect from them for the next two years. I expected better from Rep. John Curtis.
