NEW GIRL IN TOWN – AT 11:45 P.M. ET:  And already she's an enforcer for The Squad.  From Fox:   

The Black Lives Matter movement on Monday put its weight behind "Squad" member Rep. Cori Bush’s, D-Mo., proposal to investigate and potentially expel Republicans who opposed certifying the 2020 presidential election results following a deadly siege on Capitol Hill carried out by Trump supporters.

Serious error by Fox News.  The rioters on Capitol Hill included Trump supporters, but was not limited to them.

"It is not enough to denounce the white supremacy behind the attack," the group wrote on its website. "We must remove its endorsers from Congress – Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the over 100 Republicans who voted against certifying the Electoral College."
Bush introduced a resolution earlier this month that would "initiate investigations for removal" targeting those who attempted to overturn the election results and "incited a White supremacist-attempted coup."

This is crackpot stuff.  The Republicans had serious questions about the vote count.  They were performing their Constitutional mandate.  Representative Bush, as many of you know, is a true nutjob, a black extremist who supports Antifa and the anti-Semitic BDS movement targeting Israel.

The proposal is based on the claim that some of these conservatives engaged in sedition against the U.S. – or incited rebellion against the government.

More than 140 Republicans in Congress voted to overturn the results of the election, which former President Donald Trump in unproven claims said was "stolen" from him by fraudulent means.
Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in particular have come under fire for roles Democrats allege they played in inciting the violent pro-Trump riot on Capitol Hill, where several lives were lost.

They incited nothing but a discussion of the issue.

Hawley and Cruz both made clear in the days leading up to Jan. 6 that they did not intend to certify the results, leaning on Trump’s fraud claims.

COMMENT:  I wish the earnest reporter had informed us that Congresswoman Bush has been in the House about a month.  I'm sure in that time she has gained great wisdom and experience.  But I recall the observation of that noted philosopher, Jerry Lewis:  "Bad looks you can change, stupid is forever."
