If hotheads such as Waters, Brooks, Boebert, Gaetz, and Greene refuse to stop their combustible demagoguery, they should be censured by their peers and evicted by their constituents, writes QuinHillyer.
Back then, McCarthy said that several extremely conservative congressmen had used incendiary rhetoric that could heighten the risk of violence and that they needed to cool it. He was clearly thinking of the horror experienced when the rage of a political extremist nearly led to the death of the second-ranking Republican in the House, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, in a 2017 shooting. His concern was valid, and the self-control he advocated then would be welcome on both sides of the political aisle.
And Georgia’s Marjorie Taylor Greene, with a history of bigoted and bizarre remarks, also said the day before the riot that “this is our 1776 moment,” and even 12 days later, she was still suggesting that then-President Trump call for “Marshall [sic] law” to stay in office. It isn’t only Republican congressmen who in recent years have been guilty of dangerous pot-stirring. In 2018, radical California Democrat Maxine Waters said Trump staffers and Cabinet members should not be welcome in public places: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.
