Trying to cram an 8-10 minute speech into 5 minutes

Elise Stefanik is so nakedly angling for 2024 here its just disgusting. She is the only one still gunning for this, so she'll be the Trumpers' hero.

Mo Brooks is one of the dumbest and most evil people in the House. Perhaps THE most in both categories.

Trump will probably not be removed from office under the 25th Amendment, but his congressional enablers like Cruz and Hawley might like to read the 14th Amendment. It was passed in the aftermath of the Civil War, but it's still perfectly valid today.

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

Nothing will come of that.

You cannot remove politicians from Congress for voting a certain way, even if what they were doing was craven and inflammatory. Doing so would do more to "destroy democracy" than that horrible mob did. Unless Trump's "congressional enablers" were also out there giving mob-inciting speeches like he was then it would be wrong to attempt to abuse the 14th Amendment to remove them.
