Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse announces he is voting to impeach Trump even though he thinks the articles are "flawed." He says there is "no excuse" for Trump's actions; he says Trump "misinformed and inflamed a violent mob." Newhouse says he and others should've spoken up sooner. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump claimed yesterday of his pre-insurrection speech: "Everybody, to the T, thought it was totally appropriate." It's clear that this is false even about Republican members of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy correctly says: "Some say the riots were caused by Antifa. There is absolutely no evidence of that." He adds, "And conservatives should be the first to say so." — PolitiTweet.org

After Van Drew voted to reject the election results, he argued today that impeachment would take away the voice of all the people who support the president. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who voted to overturn the election: "Congress must be the glue that starts unifying everyone...if we want unity, this is not the way...we must be bigger and better than the most base of instincts that have been driving our political discourse." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, who voted to reject the election results, says Democrats shouldn't pursue impeachment at a time when the "country needs unity." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa says Trump is "clearly" not a "clear and present danger" with so little time remaining in his term: "The president has acted substantially the same for four years. He has rallied his base and he has in fact called for peaceful protest." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Rep. Andy Biggs arguing against impeachment: "I urge you: please, do not - and I'm mixing metaphors here - attempt to douse the remaining burning embers of this movement with gasoline. No one wants that." — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Rep. Tom McClintock arguing that holding rioters accountable for their actions is important: "If we had prosecuted BLM and Antifa rioters across the country with the same determination these last 6 months, this incident may not have happened at all." ??? — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Republican Rep. Tom McClintock argues Trump's words before the insurrection were overly confrontational and sometimes inaccurate, but it's "freedom of speech" and not impeachable. He notes Trump said the march on the Capitol should be peaceful. (He omits other stuff Trump said.) — PolitiTweet.org

Jordan recited various Trump accomplishments, such as cutting taxes and moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He also repeated some false and misleading claims about the Russia investigation, Trump's previous impeachment, and Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is railing against "cancel culture," saying that Democrats want to "cancel" Trump and that only one side is being allowed to talk and participate in debate. (He is, clearly, currently talking and participating in debate.) — PolitiTweet.org

Pelosi says the "domestic terrorists" at the Capitol did not emerge out of nowhere: "They were sent here. Sent here by the president." — PolitiTweet.org

As during the campaign, a lot of this past week's inaccurate viral info has been false captions on real photos and videos. Good to ask yourself who provided the caption - is it a reputable journalist? firsthand witness? etc. - and how they would know what they claimed. — PolitiTweet.org

This viral photo is from a Colorado gun rights rally in December 2019, not from last week in Washington. (The tweeter deleted it after I messaged him; he said he’d been sent the inaccurate info by a Boebert constituent.) https://t.co/c7CGTQyfap — PolitiTweet.org
