22. I doubt Cruz or Hawley were aware of the plan to storm the Capitol, though anyone could tell that

violence was coming, violence stoked by these and other liars meant to enrage Trumps useful idiots. But that is not the reason they should be expelled. They knowingly supported the big lie that Donald trump was cheated out of his second term, that the election should be overturned and Donald trump should be declared president by congress. This is sedition and more than enough reason to kick them out.
