SaysWho? Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 This was in late December a bit before the US Capitol insurrection. Now he's gone, and he was the only one to vote against. All other Republicans voted to expel him. Oregon House expels Rep. Mike Nearman for role in state capitol riot WWW.STATESMANJOURNAL.COM The Oregon House of Representatives ousted Republican Rep.

cusideabelincoln Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Now we just need to do that for Congressmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It's refreshing to me (and I hate that the bar is that low) that even Republicans were like "there is a line and we do not cross it" on this kind of shit. If anyone's curious, in case the article didn't mention it (adblocker, can't read it), the Oregon State Legislature is currently 37-23 Democrat/Republican respectively. If only Republican members of federal congress had the balls to just do a big collective "bruh" after the Jan. 6 riot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osxmatt Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 This was also the first time someone has been expelled in the 150+ year history of the Oregon legislature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Lol. His defense was basically "I didn't do it on purpose but I should have," which is a pretty weasely admission. If you really think the thing you did on video was the right thing to do, it's pretty spineless to still not admit you did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleG Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Individual Republicans have added to those comments in recent days. On Wednesday, state Rep. Bill Post, R-Keizer, penned an account of why he was urging Nearman to resign. Post concluded that Nearman had lied to him and other Republicans about what evidence existed about his intent on Dec. 21. “About five weeks ago, as one of the closest colleagues he has in the Capitol, I asked ‘is there ANY further video or other evidence?’” Post wrote on his personal website. “He said ‘no.’ That is the crux of the problem: he lied. To me personally and to the Republican caucus.” What a cock sucker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
