Trump targeting GOP impeachment voter at Ohio revenge rallyFormer President Donald Trump will return to the rally stage this weekend, holding his first campaign-style event since leaving the White House as he makes good on his pledge to exact revenge on those who voted for his historic second impeachment. Trump's event at Ohio's Lorain County Fairgrounds, not far from Cleveland, will be held Saturday to support Max Miller, a former White House aide who is challenging Republican Rep. Anthony Gonzalez for his congressional seat. Gonzalez was one of 10 GOP House members who voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol building. Why wouldn't a former president looking to run in 2024 for a 2nd term campaign for allies rather than political opponents? Revenge? No smart politics... not all political opponents are in the other party... Targeting the gullible, to scam them out of donations to his legal defense fund, more likely. there's a lie overtaking the republican party. the conspiracy theory that trump, an unpopular, deeply divisive, dangerous liar who failed at covid and left us with record debt and death secretly won the election. that fake reality is the greatest threat to your freedom imaginable

Pro-Trump Republicans determined to oust GOP incumbents who supported impeachmentForty Republicans have filed candidacies to run against 10 of the 11 Republicans who supported President Donald Trump's impeachment and are facing reelection in 2022. The pro Trump Republicans may have answer some questions about 1/6. Some may no longer gold office? You want decency and Democracy, stop voting for Banana Republicans!! This has always amazed me. This is the Congressional version of a trial. Senators were the jury. Like any jury they took an oath to decide based on the evidence presented. They voted guilty. Impeachment shouldn’t be a partisan vote regardless of the facts.
