“Folks, she constantly talks about the U.S. military – I put the U.S. military here,” he continued, raising his right arm. “If it weren’t for the U.S. military, we wouldn’t be here today. I put them here, and she continuously talks down on our veterans. Folks, she continuously talks about one of our most faithful and loyal allies, which is Israel.”
“Let Alabama be first and let’s see how many other states follow,” Hanes added.
However, one man took Hanes’ proposal to another level.
“I would just like to say the lady is guilty of sedition and her ass needs to be kicked out,” an unidentified member of the state executive committee, who approached the microphone but wasn’t formally recognized, said shortly before passage.
Congressional Democrats are the party of ANTIFA, abortion, censorship, cancel culture, and government tyranny. In 2021, Democrats have focused Republicans on an unconstitutional impeachment & an unconstitutional assault on a private citizen's 1A rights. Time to flip the script.

One objection to Hanes’ amendment dealt with the concern that it would create “dangerous precedent” for future majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives to create a subjective basis to kick out a duly elected member of Congress. It seems the Democrats are not as concerned about setting this precedent and creating a congressional civil war.
