They are allowed to say anything on the floor of Congress with no consequences. That's the rule Walleye Mar 2021 #1

Theoretically their constituents are supposed to take care of it by voting them out. They are protected by gerrymandering and voter suppression

They need to be forced to back up their lies with some sort of proof. (which we KNOW they don't have) Try something new here with inherent contempt! WE control things now so i say DO IT!
