Weird how these people are okay with removing someone's right to vote because they might have smoked weed, because the argument is, that the people that break the laws shouldn't have a say in making the laws, but are totally okay with people that tried to overthrow the democratically elected government being part of the government.
GOP is soft on terrorism >

Always has been. >

And will continue to be because they're not being held accountable for their crimes. >


In an interview, Helmer argued the lack of hearing was proof that GOP lawmakers “are continuing to seek to appeal to an extremist base.”
In a brief interview Monday, Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert said he wasn’t familiar with the bill.
“You'd have to tell me more about it; I don't really know much about it,” Gilbert said. “I forget how many bills we have to follow, but that one I don’t know much about.”

Either Delegate Gilbert is incompetent on this issue, given the notability of this bill, or he's feigning ignorance here.  (Spoiler: he's lying). >

A lot of them don't read the bills they're voting on. They rely on others to tell them what is in it and how to vote. >

That's true, typically, but this guy is the House Majority Leader and I'd argue has a responsibility to keep tabs on the broader legislative landscape in his chamber. >

He does, no question. But that doesn't mean he is. He could be half-literate for all I know and got the position because he's good at schmoozing and projecting confidence and authority. >

It would be redundant.  According to the 14th amendment insurrectionist cannot run or hold office.   I know Republicans are the party of the constition.  So this should not be an issue.  
14th amendment.
Section 3.
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. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. >

I agree, but the argument will be "show me the conviction for insurrection." >

I get what your saying but we have literal video evidence of them doing it. >

Unless its a video of a conviction for insurrection it doesnt mean squat in the eyes of the 14th ammendment.
So no, it is not at all redundant. >

No, that's false.
Tell me, which former Confederates were convicted prior to being disqualified under the 14th Amendment? >

Tell me which current republican politicians recently elected but who were also present at the jan 6th riot were disqualified under the 14th amendment? >

My thoughts are the GOP is one screwed up political party.  They prove it every day. >

The Republican party is the party of traitors. >

Hahaha man the GQP is so fucked. Forced to allow insurrectionists into their ranks or have no candidates. That party has given way to extremism and should be treated as a hostile organization. America don’t negotiate with terrorists. >


America don’t negotiate with terrorists.

40% of America seems to support terrorism just fine as it aligns with their Ethno-Christian views. >

An unfortunate truth. >

Weird how republicans want antifa to not hold office
