Expel Ted Cruz now! I am running for Congress next year at the midterms for Texas, please help me turn Texas blue! Let’s get this done! Resistance BlueWave2022 follobackinstantly

How dare he question our election! It was completely fair and if anyone doesn’t believe that POTUS got 15 million more votes than Obama should lose their citizenship! We’ll just make a fair trade with Mexico or Honduras! 🧐

When are those SOBs not complaining... I'll wait...

Cruz's name was mentioned in one of the videos made by the attempted coup-ers. chances are Cruz may very well helped the idiots. but we need evidence for that. so investigate the hell out of these moronic traitors.

Proud boy

it's a start -- next should come expulsion

Great. Can this lead to expulsion?

What happened in the last few days has been sad. BernieSanders BlackWidow BidenErasedWomen

Their actions are dispicable but I don't want them removed. Because as soon as the shoes on the other foot, it'll be Democratic senators expelled. And on and on until the Republic enters it's death spiral

This too as it appears Senator Shameless wants to continue the DOG WHISTLING and take the Trump throne. The last time I saw that phrase was on a T-shirt of someone in Congress at a Right Rally. Seriously. impeachtrump SenateDems it is only going to get worse SenateGOP

Some Republicans should be held accountable for wrongdoing. BernieSanders BlackWidow BidenErasedWomen

They must be held accountable. Their lie is a power grab. If they lose their next election they can claim they didn’t lose and further radicalize and destroy democracy. trump TedCruz JoshHawley

They should be expelled from the senate immediately.

ResignTedCruz ResignJoshHawley

Go gett’em and nail them to the wall, figuratively speaking.

Good, now some Republicans need to join them!!!

What about the others?
