A California Democrat has compiled a nearly 2,000-page report documenting social media posts from lawmakers who voted to overturn the 2020 election.
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the House of Directors board of the House and served as the House’s impeachment manager in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, asked her team to write the 1,939-page report, which was public online for a week.
It includes positions of other members of the House of Representatives just before the election in November and after the Capitol riots on January 6.
In the preface to the report, Lofgren wrote about her “deep concerns” about Trump and “the actions he took that incited and encouraged the domestic terrorists who attacked the Capitol.”
The Chamber voted to impeach the former president for the second time on a single charge of inciting violence in the Capitol insurrection. He was later acquitted by the Senate.
“Like ex-President Trump, any elected member of Congress who helped and incited the insurrection or incited the attack seriously threatened our democratic government,” wrote Lofgren in the report’s preface. “They would have betrayed their oath of office and would be implicated in the same constitutional provision cited in the Article on Impeachment.”
“Any appropriate disciplinary action is a matter not only of the constitution and the law, but of fact,” continued the California Democrat. “Many of former President Trump’s false statements were made in very public settings.”
“Did members make similar public statements in the weeks and months prior to the January 6 attack?”
The report analyzes social media activity by representatives by state. The longest section, with 257 pages, is Arizona – with 177 pages listing the social media activity of Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican. Gosar faced recent scrutiny for speaking at a white nationalist conference.
Gosar was investigated after Ali Alexander, who organized the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the Capitol riots, said three Republican Party members – Reps. Reps. Andy Biggs, Mo Brooks and Gosar – helped him orchestrate it, according to a report by The Washington Post.
