THREAD: Today, I submitted a resolution to investigate and expel Rep. Maddock for violating his duty to support the MI and US Constitutions.
One week ago, thousands went to our Nation’s Capitol because of perpetual lies and distrust lobbed at our institutions. 1/

These lies were spread by those elected to uphold our Constitution. This led to an unprecedented insurrection and acts of sedition. Our Temple of Democracy was desecrated in ways we could’ve never imagined.
These events were not random. 2/

They were coordinated and fanned by months of lies by the President, Senators, members of Congress, and other elected officials. They amplified lies about the 2020 elections, which was the very way they were elected into office. 3/

Among those who attended the events last week was Rep. Matt Maddock, who has spent months sowing lies and distrust, which culminated in the attack on our Republic. He must be held accountable.
His actions raises questions on whether or not he violated the Constitution. 4/

I believe in unity. But we cannot cannot unite as a nation until we hold those who seek to divide us accountable.
The American Idea was attacked last week. If we allow insurrection against the US to happen with impunity and w/ no accountability, it can & will happen again. 5/
