JUST IN: GOP Rep. Launches Resolution To Expel Progressive Democrat From Congress

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) has introduced a resolution to expel Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) from Congress after she was indicted for allegedly assaulting federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside a facility in Newark last week.
“Members of Congress swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this country—not to obstruct them,” Mace continued. “This isn’t a matter of partisan politics. It’s about whether we’re going to hold Members of Congress to the same legal standards as every other American.”
Mace’s resolution notes that the House has already set precedent for expelling members who have been charged of serious crimes, but have not yet been convicted, by pointing to the expulsion of former U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY)
“In a time when public trust in government is at a historic low, the House must act decisively,” said Mace. “The evidence is clear. The charges are serious. And the public deserves to know that criminal conduct in the halls of Congress has consequences.”

Rep. Lamonica "Diesel Dozer" McIver deserves to be expelled from Congress.
The Representative did nothing wrong.
