Oust Trump coup planners, enablers and provocateurs from public office. They betrayed us.

The price of admission in a democracy is accepting that your side has lost. That’s especially true when you are an elected official. And that’s why elected leaders at every level – from county election boards and state legislatures to state officials, Congress, former President Donald Trump and all who enabled him – must be held accountable for threatening U.S. democracy and leaving it on a knife edge. They need to be expelled and forced out and prosecuted for putting America at risk.

These Trump acolytes fueled corrosive Stop the Steal lies about non-existent vote fraud and organized, supported and attended Stop the Steal rallies. Some plotted in legislatures, courts and Congress to nullify the 2020 presidential election by ignoring, contesting or simply throwing out legitimate votes. Some were on the Capitol grounds during the bloody Jan. 6 attack that left five people dead. At least one was part of the mob.

We don’t know all the details yet of who did what and when they did it, but we will.

The House Jan. 6 committee knows it was Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan who forwarded a text to Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows on Jan. 5, the day before Vice President Mike Pence presided over the ceremonial electoral vote count in Congress, saying that Pence should “call out all electoral votes that he believes are unconstitutional as no electoral votes at all.”

For starters. They are traitors and must be dealt with as such, period. No exceptions.
