Opinion | Rep. Zoe Lofgren embarrassed Republicans with their own words. Now they seek to silence her. Just like Liz Cheney she won't shut up about 1/6

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) earned kudos from truth-tellers in March when she released a report simply documenting the social media posts of Republicans “who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election.” She compiled their words, revealing a hodgepodge of conspiracy-mongering and lying about the 2020 election. This was too much for the snowflake Republicans.

They have now filed a complaint, a copy of which I have obtained, with the Communication Standards Commission, an obscure body in the House formerly known as the Mailing Standards Commission, as it historically dealt primarily with franking issues.

The complaint, filed by Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.), whines: “At its core, the so-called report repeatedly violates the Commission’s rules of decorum and civility by personalizing and politicizing attacks on more than 100 Members of Congress for public statements they made on social media.” Actually, it simply recorded Republicans’ own words, thereby embarrassing them. He claims the report “engages in speculation as to the motivation or intent of the Members,” but it does no such thing. The giveaway is that Carter claims Lofgren only “insinuates” members “aided and abetted the insurrection or incited the attack” on Jan. 6.

Carter, of course, did not come up with this on his own. The Republican ranking member on the Committee on House Administration, Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), solicited such complaints. As his staff wrote in a “Dear Colleagues” letter that apparently was inadvertently released publicly: “If any Member feels strongly that they want to take action against the report and wants to know more about the process for filing a complaint with the Communications Standards Commission please reach out to … schedule a time for a call with our team.”

2. More Cancel Culture?

3. Good. This just keeps the story alive and gives it more time in the spotlight.

I hope Rep. Lofgren uses this opportunity to amplify the truth by making lots of noise in the media.

Just more public whining by traitors.

Let this be amplified by every possible media outlet on earth!

8. Hey, "Buddy" -- fuck you. Is that civil enough?

(I wouldn't want to insinuate anything or disturb the decorum or civility of the poor little snowflake and his fellow morons, so I left off "with a rusty chain saw.&quot

9. These Repukes believe that only their own followers read their traitorous tweets

Rep. Zoe Lofgren made it clear to all of them that the ENTIRE WORLD can read their ravings. It's right there for everyone to see, and it's proof of their disloyalty. Some are even involved in criminal conspiracy, but others are just stupid.

Repukes are saying, "But ... but ... but... she violated the rules of decorum! It's uncivil! It's embarrassing us!"

Good job Zoe Lofgren, and thank you!

10. does anyone know what posts were in the report?

I found the report but it is huge and in hard to read PDF format. I want a summary of the highlights because I'm too lazy to read the whole tiny print report.

Thanks for indulging.

11. Republicans can't handle the truth

12. Tell us more about "decorum and civility," Rep. Buddy Carter.

Take a moment to watch a few seconds of each of these videos before you do. If you paid any attention at all during the second impeachment of DJT, you should be well acquainted with the contents of the videos at the first link alone.

Now, you and other Republicans of your ilk, talk about "attacks" and claim violations of a lack of "decorum and civility" one more time.

Go ahead and try it.

15. I destroyed a RW American MAGAt interloper whingeing about 'cancel culture' with this very example

in a private English football chat. I also used Liz Cheney as an example. He went insane in rage (dropped multiple N-word bombs as well) and was banned by the mods (some of whom I know in real life). Right wing/white wing American peckerwoods in UK and European footie chats almost never come up against intelligent, brutal pushback, and are exposed for the thuggish, room temperature IQ troll vermin they are within minutes.
