Rep. Madeleine Dean: Donald Trump Must Be Held Accountable To Fullest Extent - iGen Politics Podcast
Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi are joined by impeachment manager Rep. Madeleine Dean to share what it was like inside the Capitol during the 1/6 insurrection. They break down Donald’s pivotal role in it based on his words and attempts to foment disinformation, then highlight the importance of holding him accountable while supporting efforts to protect our voting rights.
Most notably, Rep. Dean served as an impeachment manager during Donald Trump’s second impeachment, giving her great insights for our conversation today. Before that, Rep. Dean has done everything from being an English professor to a state representative in Pennsylvania. In 2018, after noticing that there were no women serving in Congress from Pennsylvania, she ran for Congress and won. In Congress, Rep. Dean sits on the Judiciary and Financial Services committees. She is also a member of numerous caucuses including the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force, the New Democrat Coalition, Congressional Progressive Caucus, and more.

We can't repeat the mistakes of the post Civil War era (when hanging was the punishment for treason) when neither secessionist leaders, Confederate General Robert E. Lee or Confederate States President Jefferson Davis were held accountable. Robert E. Lee went on to serve as president of Washington College which was renamed Washington and Lee in his honor. And both Lee and Davis had their citizenship restored by a resolution of Congress in the 1970s. Depriving TFG of his citizenship would work, too, since he'd be unable to vote, let alone ever hold public office. 
They showed the lengths that they were willing to go on January 6th and every day we learn more about their traitorous plans to overturn the election by seizing voting machines, sending in illicit electors with forged papers and bullying both election workers and secretaries of states. And, well over a year later, they're not done. They definitely need to face severe legal consequences so this can never happen again - and that includes removing those in Congress who are supporting and enabling them 
They only win in their own little worlds.
Cheatin' ain't winnin' - and we all know the difference.
