Republican lawmakers in Ohio are seeking to impeach Gov. DeWine, a fellow Republican, claiming he violated state and federal laws by imposing a mask mandate and ordering businesses to close to slow the spread of Covid-19.

Christopher Devine, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Dayton and an expert on Ohio politics, said, “This is not a serious attempt to impeach Gov. DeWine.”

Still, Devine said, this points to DeWine’s “vulnerability among more extreme members of the Republican Party's base as he seeks renomination and re-election in 2022.”

Pfffff!!! Whacko traitors!

GOP are becoming insane!

Hmmmm...snakes don't eat snake...

Republicans continue to play politics with a deadly virus. Sad,sad,sad

Now the criminals turn on each other.

That's just totally fu*led up!!!!

R u kidding me the Rs eating there own.People like the Gov is trying to save lives while these people don’t care anything other than theirselves!

Wow that's really genius at work. Upset due to him wanting to slow the spread

Come on!!! I’m not from Ohio but he is trying to save lives!!! And it’s not forever. Don’t like it? Ok. But you do it for saving a life—maybe yours, your son or daughter, your wife or girlfriend or your mom or dad. Once they’re gone they are lost forever.

Covidiosy

Sick. SO glad we moved the hell out of there.

What is wrong with these Republicans?

Mike DeWine is a good man and an excellent governor. A bunch of Trump supporters trying to undermine his good work in Ohio.

Ladies and gents, the “pro life” Party... take a look

Omg, there is no bottom.

YES! GET HIM OUT! The man is CLUELESS! End the Dewine administration! End the lockdowns! Save Ohio businesses!

Kentucky just went through this and the KY supreme court ruled in our governors favor

They are that stupid.

OMG! What is wrong with the GOP. Do they really want to see their supporters die? They are sick. And do they realize they don’t need to follow the lead of their president of death any more?

Who are these people that want to insure their fellow citizens get infected and/or die of Covid?

Ohio Gov should get a medal and the idiots who filed lawsuit should be disbarred idiots

Seriously. I’m not a mean person but I wish Covid would skip the good and decent people and visit the idiots!

Fail

He protected the people in his state. WTF?!?

OK let all those stupid people not wear a mask and if they don't want a vaccine also.....let them go without! A mask protects the vulnerable and saves lives

GOP are a death cult.

These republicans don’t shy away from anything! If public health is at stake, taking these kinds of measures is harsh but can be implied. They just don’t care about the victims. Greed and selfishness!!

Ohio GOP has elected some of the most ignorant and callous people. The TrumpDeathToll270k due to lack of doing anything to stem COVID deaths fits their mentality.

Leopards are looking to eat his face.

One wonders if those state GOP members have heard of Jacobsen v Massachussets (1905). SCOTUS ruled that if the governor decides to impose a vaccine mandate, it carries the weight of law. A mask rule, for the same reasons as a vaccine, wouldn't be too hard to argue and win.

maybe he's is trying anything he can to either slow down or stop the spread of this virus in his state..going against the people to hopefully save lives is not popular, but it's not as though he is looking to gain financially..he wants the people in his state to be safe

Wannabe Republican death panels.

America is one whacky place.

They’re idiots

They are starting to eat their own. Fools.

What a bunch of Goofs. This is a Heath Emergency should not be political. Impeach, because he wanted to save lives. I say thank you, to the other Ohio Lawmakers Shut Up Man and WearADamnMask 😷 SaveALife

These Republicans have lost their minds. Not all of them, but man seems like a lot of them have.

Cannibalism. That's fine. Traditions. Let them eat fake!!!!

Got to get that lady from Michigan to

No grounds for impeachment. Gov. DeWine’s first and foremost duty is the safety of the people of Ohio. Enough with Republicans playing Trumplican politics with our lives.

GovMikeDeWine ...well i THANK YOU sir for saving lives...SCREW THE REST!

fuck i can pipe faster in a tackle phase your mental

He’s trying to help the idiots!!

Time to get rid of all the tyrants

Good. Doesn’t matter what party they are from. Clearly the GOP keeps its own in check.

Blah, blah, blah.....

Please let these consistently despicable actions by the GOP be judged by history as the darkest of times - that we pulled out of. That gives me hope for the future; for my grandkids. Because if not? What an ugly, ugly world & legacy we will be leaving them.

Proof that the GOP values money over constituents.

I’m sorry but OHIO is so fucked up.

We call Ohio southern Alabama for a reason.🥵🌰

I hope those trying this impeachment catch it....
