Don't misunderstand me, I am not defending Trump or the people who stormed the Capitol. But threatening to expel members who don't resign for making such Constitutional challenges is WRONG IMO. Trump, IN MY OPINION, did egg the crowd on into an act of insurrection but as far as I know none of the people in Congress said anything to suggest such actions to anyone. Saying that many of their constitutients believed there was fraud is not the same thing. Even saying that they themselves believed that is not the same thing. Congress has traditionally allowed all kinds of wild things to be said in its chambers in order to promote debate.
Yes, this can be seen as a very fine dividing line and if anyone can give me a reliable source for Hawley or Cruz actually saying something to promote a insurrection or coup then I may change my mind. At the moment I am not aware of them saying such.

So why didn't the Federal government just arrest and try those responsible for the vote rigging in 1876 with sedition? Jan 10, 21:40
