'Traitors': Democrat Lawmakers Call for Removal of Republicans Reportedly Involved in 1/6

Democratic lawmakers have expressed outrage at some of their Republican colleagues reportedly helping to plan the protest that immediately preceded the January 6 attack on the Capital, calling for them to be expelled from Congress.

Democratic members of Congress reacted strongly to a Sunday report from Rolling Stone that claimed multiple Republicans had worked closely with planners of the main Washington D.C. protest on January 6. Former President Donald Trump appeared at the event and urged his supporters to "fight like hell" and march to the Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify President Joe Biden's 2020 election win.

The Rolling Stone article claimed that protest organizers worked directly with Republican lawmakers or their top staff, as well as White House staffers. It also alleged that Arizona Representative Paul Gosar told organizers that Trump was prepared to issue them a preemptive "blanket pardon." The report was based on anonymous interviews with the purported organizers and Newsweek has not independently verified the article's claims.

"I have angry tears right now," tweeted New York Representative Grace Meng, a Democrat. "During 1/6, I, like many, texted loved ones goodbye. Countless people have asked if I've been ok since & I've always answered truthfully that i was fine. But this article was triggering. How could colleagues be traitors? This makes my blood boil."

"And this is why i push to #EndTheFilibuster," Meng added. "Isn't saving our democracy more important than procedure? If we don't pass voter reform and other important legislation, we could lose more lives and we could have another 1/6, but this time one where the traitors actually win.

"Any member of Congress who helped plot a terrorist attack on our nation's capitol must be expelled," tweeted New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "This was a terror attack. 138 injured, almost 10 dead. Those responsible remain a danger to our democracy, our country, and human life in the vicinity of our Capitol and beyond."

"This Rolling Stone article about January 6 is highly disturbing," California Representative Ted Lieu tweeted. "No one should be above the law, including Members of Congress and former White House Staff. And if pardons were indeed discussed in advance, why would that be? Because folks knew crimes were about to be committed."

Arizona Representative Ruben Gallego argued that the article was "further reinforcement" in support of the January 6 committee, while tweeting that if "any current members of Congress worked with the insurrectionists who threatened the very government they are a part of, they should be removed from office."

"Every Member of Congress that helped to plan the attempted coup of our government shouldn't be allowed to serve in Congress," tweeted New York Representative Nydia Velazquez. "I'm joining the calls for those who helped plan the deadly January 6th insurrection to be immediately expelled."

"Any Member of Congress who plotted with Jan. 6 terrorists must be removed from Congress," California Representative Eric Swalwell wrote.

"My resolution to investigate and expel the Members of Congress who helped incite the deadly insurrection on our Capitol is just waiting for a vote," tweeted Missouri Representative Cori Bush. "It's inexcusable to wait any longer."

Paul Gosar's Self Incriminating Tweet.

A tweet issued by Representative Paul Gosar on January 6 has resurfaced following a report that the Republican offered pardons to those planning the protests in Washington, D.C.

The post, which encouraged Joe Biden to step back from his electoral victory, included a photo of the large crowd assembled at the Stop the Steal rally earlier that day.

"Biden should concede," Gosar wrote. "I want his concession on my desk tomorrow morning. Don't make me come over there."

Social media users re-upped the tweet in light of the Rolling Stone article published Sunday in which two pro-Trump rally organizers said they met with Gosar and other GOP lawmakers in the weeks leading up to the Capitol attack.

Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Louie Gohmert are the current traitors in the news.

Madison Cawthorn wants to end America as we know it?

I heard that Lionel Richie and Sturgill Simpson want to end the Country Music Awards and America too. And they hate pop tarts and want to end Country Music, Pop Tarts and America. They are way more wanting to end American than Madison.

Do you really think you're being cute and witty with your constant downplaying of anything and everything that puts your party in a negative light? Do you really think you come across as anything other than a partisan hack and a moron? Is nothing serious to you or is everything a farce?

It truly is ironic and telling that the party that has polarized this country beyond recognition over the past two decades by demonizing the other side as "unamerican," and "unpatriotic" is the same party that has tried time and time again to subvert our Democracy anyway it could, and on January 6 it reached critical mass. It is astonishing that people today could even claim to be Republican with a straight face after the way the party has made a mockery of our Constitution and leaned towards autocracy.

That pathetic little dweeb Cawthorne was recently made a fool of by a high school student when he started pushing these idiotic lies about the election.

What is my party?
Do you think that a party that does not have room for someone like Tulsi Gabbard but does have room for Terry McAuliffe or Mitt Romney or McConnell is also my party?

Tell me more about my party, Alf. This should be rich.

Yeah, just like the way they've taught their idiot base to act, these GOP pols have no relationship with the truth. The GOP is the American Taliban.

If a non-GOP pol lies, are they also the American Taliban, or just the regular Taliban?
