WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Elaine Luria voted to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection following the attack on the Capitol last week. Prior to this vote, Congresswoman Luria spoke on the House floor to urge her colleagues to join her in holding the President accountable.
“President Trump is responsible for the insurrection that occurred at our Capitol last week and our county can’t begin to heal until those who are responsible for the attack on our democracy are held accountable,” said Congresswoman Luria. “I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and today I fulfilled that solemn obligation. History will look back on this moment to see who stood strong in support of American democracy.”
Congresswoman Luria delivered the following remarks on the House floor during Congressional debate on this article on impeachment: “The perpetrators of this heinous attack on our nation’s democracy were Americans, encouraged and emboldened by President Trump— because he could not accept the outcome of our fair and free election. His actions are seditious, and the President has proven he is not fit to serve. History will look back on this moment to see who stood strong in support of American democracy. As my colleagues have said, we must come together, but our nation cannot begin to heal until there is accountability for the atrocity we witnessed last week.”

Which makes the Congresswoman look like a ******* A-HOLE because there was no insurrection!
That is a FRAUD being perpetrated on the American people by Nancy Pelosi, Elaine Luria and the DEMOCRATS.

We are all responsible for our own words and actions. Donald Trump has never asked anyone to riot. He has always spoken out against lawlessness. Anyway who interprets his words otherwise and riots is responsible for their own actions. Likewise, Elaine Luria is responsible for her words. Calling for Trump’s removal for creating an insurrection is truly poor leadership. It’s unnecessarily divisive. She is harming her own office, that of The Presidency and the entire country in parroting the words of Nancy Pelosi for political gain. She is plainly showing us why she was a poor choice to represent us.

Your LUria is non essential.
President Trump needed to sign the Insurrection Act to take control.
Never has Trump’s rallies had violence. Trump is law and order.
The politicians are scared and China can only protect them so long.

POINT I: (from basic grade school civics) The House of Representatives has NO Constitutional authority to declare an insurrection precisely because the founders did not trust them with the power, which it was felt, and rightfully so, that they would use to create a tyranny and despotism, which is what they are now trying to do with this “insurrection” bull**** Democrat Elaine Luria is peddling in here.
POINT II: As speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi has NO Constitutional authority to declare an insurrection precisely because the founders did not trust her with that power, which it was felt, and rightfully so, that she would use to create a tyranny and despotism, which is what she is now trying to do with this “insurrection” bull**** Democrat Elaine Luria is peddling in here.
POINT III: All the Democrats in the House of Representatives voting as a faction have NO Constitutional authority to declare an insurrection precisely because the founders did not trust them with the power, which it was felt, and rightfully so, that they would use to create a tyranny and despotism, which is what they are now trying to do with this “insurrection” bull**** Democrat Elaine Luria is peddling in here.
POINT IV: By declaring an insurrection absent Constitutional authority to do so, the Democrats in Congress have usurped and arrogated unto themselves powers delegated elsewhere.
CONCLUSION: This so-called “insurrection” is as much Democrat bull**** as was the alleged Tonkin Gulf Issue, and the Democrats using the FRAUD to deny American citizens representation in the House of Representatives is a massive assault on our democracy and our form of government and indeed the soul of America itself by the Democrats, who are the true seditionists here in this comic opera courtesy of Nancy Pelosi and Elaine Luria.
