47. Agolf Twitler wants to repeal the 14th amendment because he wants to avoid prosecution for January 6th.

Not saying that the racist phuck isn't doing it to hurt brown people and give a thrill to his vile base.
However, the amendment contains some crucial language about how persons who "have engaged in insurrection against the United States ", or have provided " aid and comfort " to those who have done those things, that person is not eligible to run for nor occupy the offices of President and Vice President of the United States.

He is trying to make sure that the courts can never prosecute him for January 6th.
