20. He had no principles - he was all in with the Jan 6 attempted coup

From the White House website just now:



This is simply totalitarian-style (Nazi, Stalinist) re-writing of history into a flagrantly fictional narrative for propaganda purposes.

Earlier today, Doug LaMalfa died. LaMalfa was a GOP congressman who 100% supported all of this — he claimed soon after January 6 that “the circumstances surrounding this presidential election point to a fraudulent outcome,” and he signed a brief supporting a lawsuit intended to get the SCOTUS to overturn the election.

In other words, this guy was an insurrectionist, straight up.

So, in conclusion, fuck LaMalfa. The world is better off without him.
