Via press release from Rep. Matt Gaetz:
On Tuesday, February 6th, U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) will host a press conference at 11:45 a.m. ET with 25 members of Congress following the introduction of a sense of Congress resolution stating that President Donald Trump did not engage in insurrection. The resolution is co-sponsored by more than 60 members of Congress.
The coalition of Republicans, led by Rep. Gaetz, seeks to clarify the stance of the House of Representatives be that President Trump did not participate in actions that would bar him from again holding public office.
The resolution directly states that “President Donald J. Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or give aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Read the full press release. Video below is live at this writing. Gaetz just said that Elise Stefanik is the resolution’s lead co-sponsor and that Sen. J.D. Vance will introduce a companion resolution in the Senate.
Rep. Matt Gaetz just introduced a resolution in Congress pushing the extreme stance that former President Trump did not incite an insurrection on January 6, 2021. This resolution is a byproduct of unchecked MAGA extremism in Congress.
