GA Sen. Kelly Loeffler wants to expel Dems from Congress

 

Newsweek reports that “Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler told Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar she should be ‘expelled from Congress’ [last week] after Omar defended Loeffler's Democratic opponent, Rev. Raphael Warnock.”   For good measure, Loeffler also invoked bigoted falsehoods against Omar, a Muslim, by telling the duly-elected congresswoman, “Ilhan, we saw the video of you smiling and laughing while talking about al-Qaeda & 9/11.”   Wow. Want to know why we think Kelly Loeffler should be expelled from Congress instead?   Loeffler is the richest member of the Senate, especially after she committed insider trading after getting privileged information on the coronavirus. She wasn’t elected to her office, but instead appointed by Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp.   She’s currently locked in a runoff battle with Democrat Raphael Warnock. He’s working hard to make blue inroads in Georgia -- and to help us retake the Senate.   But The New York Times has reported that the race will be “one of the hardest-fought and most expensive contests in the state’s history,” probably because “it could determine which party controls the Senate just two weeks before Inauguration Day.”   There are millions of Democrats out there who probably think all the voting is over. But the fate of Congress rests on this final contest -- and right now, no one is giving -- because hardly anyone even knows about it.    You’re an engaged supporter. You know politics is about making life better for people, not just voting once every four years on Election Day. We want Warnock to stride across the finish line so Democrats can retake Congress and start helping the American people -- but first we need your help. We cannot thank you enough for your support. Thank you for using your power to make for a better future.   Progressive Majority Progressive Majority PAC is leading the fight against Trump's dangerous and divisive agenda by helping elect progressive Democrats to Congress and protecting the gains we made in the midterms.
