You have the absolute right to like, love and support whoever you want to support, but you don't have the right to place a man above the Constitution and our democracy simply because it's politically expedient to your career!

[coragoodwin]

That's what happens when you let FOOLS run the house 🏡😭. VOTE THEM OUT! IF YOU WANT DEMOCRACY FOR ALL PEOPLE.

[joetran]

I wonder how much stuff would be accomplished if the GOP dedicated this much energy on getting stuff passed.

[WilliamPriceKing]

Everything MTG says or does is ridiculous. The hypocrisy is endless.

[TheMrZombified]

The GOP should change their name to the Alternative Reality Party.

[lisamareeaccary]

The GOP are becoming more ridiculous with each day

[michaelbray]

Marge is just trying to give Donnie an expunge bath with her tongue.
Donnie will always be “the twice-impeached guy…always.

I am absolutely certain that NOT ONE House Republican has ever been a returning champion on Jeopardy.

[budmoore]

Constantly trying to rewrite history in order to make themselves look better. Pathetic.

[josephtortona]

just PROVES that the MAGA GOP NEVER had INTEGRITY, DIGNITY, COURAGE, HONESTY, FIDELITY, COMMITMENT, LOYALTY & FAITHFULNESS to the US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution ...

[simon]

Good example of how strongly motivated ( and completely mentally deranged) the Fascists are.

[WillardThompson-xveu]

It seems like congress is there to protect Donald. When will these people start working for the American people interest?

[JusticeAlways]

All about revenge...nothing about rational thinking.
MTG in a nutshell.

[michaelmillington]

The longer he is allowed to roam free, the closer we get to the end of democracy

GOP obstruction of justice must be held accountable. Constitution, rule of law, democracy matters.
