President Trump is urging House Republicans to pursue Democrats amid what he sees as their latest attempts to undermine him.
“The Democrats have truly lost their way. They’ve abandoned all sense, particularly when it comes to reason! These radical leftists will just continue their chaos,” Trump expressed in a lengthy post on Truth Social late Thursday.
“They’ve got two lawmakers no one respects, just total oddballs, throwing nonsensical allegations at me without any understanding of the situation.”
Trump’s comments followed Rep. Sri Taneder (D-Mich.) announcing on Monday that he had submitted several articles regarding the President’s actions, including the prominent deportation of an MS-13 member.
The Detroit representative mentioned “illegal” cuts made by the administration to justify his critique.
Trump didn’t mention Taneder by name in his post, but it’s known that Taneder’s resolutions are not widely supported.
“Republicans should really consider removing these individuals from Congress for the numerous offenses they’ve committed, especially around election time. They’re causing significant injustices that harm our country,” Trump stated.
“Why are we allowing these accusations to be used as weapons against a President who’s working so diligently for the nation? It’s the same tactics as before, and Republicans shouldn’t let them get away with it again.”
“These are the kind of people who despise our nation and everything it stands for. Maybe we should turn the tables and initiate their expulsion for the very real crimes they’ve committed,” he added.
This week, three other House Democrats quietly withdrew their endorsements from Taneder’s articles after learning that party leadership had not approved the filing.
Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), and Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.) each went to the floor to formally request their names be removed.
“Mfume stated he’s stepping back because he realized the resolution hadn’t been clarified by Democratic leaders and lacked a thorough legal review,” a source revealed.
“There had been an understanding that the resolution was adequately prepared and vetted by the House Judiciary Committee and Leadership.”
As for Nadler, his office has yet to respond to requests for comment.
