Rep. Zoe Lofgren
Zoe Ellen LofgrenHouse approved electoral project aims at foreign interference Republicans call for a hearing on Biden’s treatment of the border increase. (D-Calif.) Launched an extensive report detailing social media posts by Republican lawmakers who voted against certifying the Electoral College results of the 2020 presidential election.
The nearly 2,000-page report documents posts on social media platforms just before the November 3 election and after the January 6 uprising on Capitol Hill.
The report highlights the lack of trust between Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, as critics say comments questioning the credibility of the November election helped fuel the deadly turmoil in January.
Federal investigators are also investigating communications between lawmakers and protesters before the insurrection.
Lofgren, the chairman of the House’s Management Committee, said in an addendum to the report that he released it as part of a fact-finding mission and suggested that punishments may result from some of the Republicans’ claims and statements.
“Like the previous one President Trump
Donald Trump Trump appointed by the State Department arrested in connection with the Capitol intelligence community investigating links between lawmakers, Capitol protesters Michelle Obama criticizes ‘party actions’ to ‘restrict access to the polls’ MORE, any elected member of Congress who helped and incited the insurrection or incited the attack seriously threatened our democratic government. They would have betrayed their oath and were implicated in the same constitutional provision cited in the Article on Impeachment, “she wrote.” This provision prohibits anyone who has already taken an oath as a member of Congress to support the Constitution, but later became involved in an insurrection or rebellion for serving in Congress. “
“Any appropriate disciplinary action is a matter not only of the constitution and the law, but also of fact,” continued Lofgren. “Many of former President Trump’s false statements were made in very public settings. Had members made similar public statements in the weeks and months prior to the January 6 attack?
“Statements that are readily available in the public arena may form part of any consideration of Congress’ constitutional prerogatives and responsibilities.”
The report covers the posts of 120 House Republicans, including several key Trump allies.
In a prominent comment, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), President of the hard-line House Freedom Caucus, tweeted on November 5: “The integrity of our elections is at stake, and Americans need maximum transparency and responsibility of state and local officials. “

Democrats do not trust the GOP on the 1/6 commission: ‘These people are dangerous’ Trump reappears on the political scene at CPAC MAIS (R-Ala.) He tweeted the same day: “As a member of the US House, I will be very hesitant to certify the results of this election if Joe Biden

Biden officials traveled to the border amid the influx of young migrants. MOST he is declared the winner under these circumstances because I have no faith that this was an honest election. ”
Brooks was a pioneer in the Chamber’s effort to object to the results of the Electoral College.
After election day, Trump and his allies on Capitol Hill quickly claimed without evidence that widespread fraud cost the former president a second term, although nearly all lawsuits seeking to overturn the results of certain decisive states have been shelved for lack of evidence or legitimacy.
