MUST READ: Rep. Zoe Lofgren's Report Bares Lawmakers' Posts Bashing Election Before Capitol Riot

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) issued a massive 2,000-page report on Friday exposing thousands of social media posts by GOP lawmakers attacking the presidential election and spreading lies before and after the deadly storming of the U.S. Capitol by Donald Trump supporters seeking to overturn the results.

No congressional member can serve who has taken an oath to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection, noted the California Democrat.

From Rep Lofgren's review and on 1/6, Rep. Bob Good (R-Virginia) perpetuated Trump's big lie and tweeted;

First,
I'm 110% certain that Bob Good does not represent Virginia's 5th People of Color, LGBTQs, and White Liberals. Bob Good is on the extreme side of Former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R) and a true Trump sycophant.

Second,
When a member of the Fascist Party (the former GOP) says, "ensure the integrity of the election," that's a dog whistle for promoting Voter Suppression. Fortunately, the state of Virginia is Blue.

We thought the magic number to win that seat would be around 175 to 200 thousand votes and we thought we would get there. We did. We hit the target spot but this guy got over 200 thousand votes. Webb was an amazing person and candidate and still lost to this fool. It was a depressing evening.

He would make an amazing member of Congress. A lot will depend on the make up of the district post redistricting

I scanned my state, and sadly, my Congressman, one of their heroes.

What stood out: Every LEGAL vote. Nearly every post said every LEGAL vote. Implication: votes that weren't for 45 were not legal.

Every single one was flagged by Twitter. Then he complains that "Big Tech is targeting conservatives because we stood up for election integrity."

Gaetz's section takes up 146 pages out of 189 for Florida reps.
