Republicans must seek the truth and put an end to Trumpziism

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a mob to attack Congress and the U.S. Capitol. The insurrectionist mob’s aim was his aim—to disrupt the process of a free, fair 2020, election and overturn the will of the people by physically assaulting their duly elected representatives at the seat of government. Trump must be convicted by the Senate and disqualified from holding future office.

Republicans for the Rule of Law

With public impeachment hearings (times two) to convict Donald Trump of sedition, Congressional Republicans should look to their predecessors from the last time a Republican president was impeached.

Rep. M. Caldwell Butler, Republican from Virginia, said, “It is we, not the Democrats, who must demonstrate that we are capable of enforcing the high standards we would set for them.”

Rep. Lawrence Hogan, Republican of Maryland and father of the current governor of Maryland, told his colleagues, “For our system of justice and our system of government to survive, we must pledge our highest allegiance to the strength of the law and not to the common frailties of men.”

They were right. The Republican Party (Maine Writer, IMO "GQP") needed to divorce itself from the shame of Nixon and Watergate, so it could reinvent itself. 

In a prediction of our current moment, Connecticut Republican Lowell Weicker said, "If we try to play coy or to be less than extremely forceful in getting the truth out, people are going to impute (i.e., discredit) us- this is a rather sordid succession of events." 

Republicans, take note!
