Seven Democratic senators have filed an ethics complaint against the Republican Senators Ted Cruz, of Texas, and Josh Hawley, of Missouri, who led the effort to overturn the election in Congress. Representative Cori Bush, a Democrat of Missouri, has introduced a House resolution to investigate and expel members of Congress who challenged the electoral votes. Bush said, in a tweet, that they "incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election." Mitch McConnell may agree. He has acknowledged that they were "provoked by the President and other powerful people," implying that some lawmakers might be responsible.

In short, the GOP has become a national threat to the United States. For silencing voices, intentional perpetuation of a pandemic, intentional lies about the 2020 election, complete disregard for women's rights, LGBT rights, minority rights, and treason against the United States. (In my opinion) They no longer have any right to call themselves patriots, because they are not behaving as patriots. They claim "oppression and tyranny", when they have no idea what actual oppression and tyranny are. The GOP has become anti-Constitution, anti-American, Fascist, Authorization traitors. And (again, my opinion) need to be treated as such).
