“We can’t have a democracy if members of Congress are actively helping the president overturn the elections results.
And so not only do I intend to see that the president is removed and never runs for office again and doesn’t have access to classified material, I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him; those members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on Jan. 5 — a reconnaissance for the next day; those members of Congress that incited this violent crowd; those members of Congress that attempted to help our president undermine our democracy; I'm going to see they are held accountable, and if necessary, ensure that they don't serve in Congress.”Aren’t you glad it’s morning?OK, that Mikie Sherrill story is going to keep me up for a while.

The first thing I thought wasn't collusion between the Capitol police and the insurrectionists, it was Republican-fascists in Congress and their staffs.
