    So Republicans are going to just gonna act like the 3rd section of the 14th amendment doesn’t exist? And they think this is a winning strategy?

    Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

    No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

      Gotta convict him first, unfortunately. You aren’t disqualified merely for being accused of doing something, no matter how awful.

      given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof

      Saying “We love you” on national TV about seditionists doesn’t count as aid or comfort?
