Some freshman GOP lawmakers are stirring up controversy days into their terms, drawing attention well beyond their districts, as well as criticism from colleagues in both parties

. Both were ardently pro-Trump and had expressed interest in QAnon far-right-wing conspiracy theories alleging a “deep state” within the government. They each distanced themselves from QAnon before winning general election victories in November.

Reacting to the pushback by Ms. Boebert and other Republicans to the screening measures, House Speaker said the House would vote on a new rule that would impose fines of $5,000 on the first offense and $10,000 on the second one for lawmakers who refuse to follow the new procedures. She has also launched an investigation into the security breakdowns.

Mrs. Greene, a 46-year-old CrossFit enthusiast who owns a construction business with her husband, raised eyebrows before her term started. She tweeted a workout video filmed in her D.C. hotel room to protest what she said were shutdowns of gyms to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, getting into an early tangle with a fellow GOP lawmaker. D.C. gyms were open at the time, with capacity limitations.if you work out, cool. Please don’t find an excuse to post your entire workout video.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal blasted the group after she tested positive, saying that they created “a superspreader event on top of a domestic terrorist attack.”To what extent do you think GOP freshmen will be able to work with fellow members of Congress? Join the conversation below. Some freshmen have drawn criticism for their remarks related to Mr. Trump’s challenge of the election result. In late December, Rep. Madison Cawthorn , 25 years old, told conservatives they could call and “lightly threaten” their members of Congress to challenge purported election fraud. After clips of the speech circulated following the attack, Mr. Cawthorn said he was suggesting political action, not violence. He spoke at the “Save America” rally outside the White House just before the riot.

kinda like those other squads

Masks - actually beneficial or a sign of subjection? Amazingly, no-one knows. But it would be very easy to find out fir sure and UF researchers showed how.

Qidiots

This women and AOC are fringe politicians. Nothing but a minority perspective.

Of course they are. They have learned from the 'Squad.' Bad publicity is better than no publicity. The entire country knows AOC and the rest, and even with their incompetence, they got re-elected. The new America.

Elected officials who are on record for saying the election was rigged or supporting rioters should be silenced at the least. No opportunities to speak on the floor, mic turned off permanently.

Each House [of Congress] may determine the Rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member.

Republicans should support spending. Spend! Spend! Spend! Excite those people that like the money printers to go “brrrr.” Not a penny of revenue increase. Not even a park entry fee increase. Money printer goes “brrrr.” Spend! Spend! No need for a debt ceiling. “brrrr.” GOP

Someone needs to tell them to sit down and shut up.

This should be labeled an Opinion piece. WSJ has long since departed from its focus on business. We can no longer trust anything WSJ prints to not have a bias political motive behind it.

True Americans unlike the sheep democrats

TRUTH MATTERS. It would be great if conservative outlets like WSJ promulgate Truth Telling and get us out of this post-truth era of mayhem.

“Stirring up controversy “. by being a member of the Q Anon cult and promoting the lie about a stolen election

Hey! Doing this got them elected. Why stop now? I know! Maybe there are rules and consequences for being a representative? 😳

In order for the Republican Party to regroup, they need to ensure the President doesn’t run again. If not, he will split the party, with the amount of followers he has, he’s absolutely capable of splitting the party in 2024 giving the Republicans no chance of winning.

Oh look Republican trump supporters

Expect a very short tenure for these Traitors. Their lies are being exposed daily. US Naval Academy my ss

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Cloward-Piven Strategy: Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis

That's a pretty high falloon way to say they're being seditious traitors. Why is anyone surprised by the fact that these reality-deniers will do anything to defend their delusions? Please look up narcissistic personality disorder? Asking for a few billion friends.

Great

Think about the American ppl and stop with all the bs😡

These are the seedlings of hatred within our government, arising from the toxic soil of bigotry. If they are tolerated, their roots of vile hate spread even deeper.

Things need to be shaken up. The status quo has failed.

Does she realize that she is speaking in public? She needs a new mask.
