Hometown Newspaper: Perry must be subpoenaed -- and/or booted
York Dispatch
York Dispatch editorial board
The attempted insurrection on Jan. 6 “isn’t just the biggest political event of 2021,” writes The Washington Post’s politics reporter Amber Phillips. “It’s the biggest political event of the decade, and it probably belongs in the first paragraph of America’s entire history.”
And smack in the middle of it is Rep. Scott Perry.
The Carroll Township Republican was an early and energetic proponent of the Big Lie; the fiction that former President Donald Trump won reelection despite substantial popular vote and Electoral College defeats — even if that meant disenfranchising his own constituents.
Perry sought to throw out Pennsylvania’s election results in favor of Electoral College delegates supportive of Trump and, hours after the riotous and deadly assault on the halls of Congress, objected to counting Pennsylvania’s electoral votes on the House floor.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
