This individual---and several like him (looking at you Ms Cheney) took a solemn oath to faithfully represent the wishes of the voters in the district that elected them. Instead---they have chosen to grandstand and preen---hoping to become media stars---while willfully ignoring the wishes of their voters--effectively undermining the entire concept of representative democracy that they pretend to hold so dear when babbling on about the "insurrection". If democracy is being undermined----it wasnt by a bunch of middle aged folks who stormed the capital with flag poles and crutches as weapons in an effort to be heard. No, if our democracy is undermined---its by unscrupulous self aggrandizing politicians---like Rice and Cheney---who lie about their beliefs just to get elected----and then fail to uphold the most important duty they are sent to DC to perform----representing the actual beliefs and wishes of their constituents.

The fact the Rice and Cheney no longer have even a wisp of remaining support left in their home districts is a well deserved testament to just how badly trash like this has behaved when it comes to upholding the sacred trust of representation that their communities placed in their undeserving hands.

Good news!

Maybe now the “Fryed Rice” cracks can end.

This goofball reminds me of Sanford(?), the guy who was hiking the App trail while actually schtooping his Brazilian (?) girlfriend instead.

Sooner these imposters are given the hook the better. None too soon for this clown.
Now he can likely move on to his Federal position of Deputy Undersecretary of Helping to Fvck Things Up or FDUFT.
It’ll only serve to make this clown car administration more complete in its incompetence.

Good job S.C. No, really.

Sorry Tom, you have been cancelled.

Its not just representation. Its the Constitution. They have let their personal feelings towards DJT cause them to follow the Democratic witch hunts violating people's civil rights.

5 down, 5 to go. Note that this is a far left piece actually defending those who treated the Constitution as a joke.

Boom!

How any true republican could side with the mindless left and vote to impeach Trump for jan 6 is beyond me.

Good job SC for cleaning out a fraud.

This is how much of a bubble some of the idiot never-trumping rinos were living in.

These people are seditious enemies of the people. At least the Dems have the excuse that they are being partisans.

It's interesting to me how quickly a GOP member is labelled a RINO, when as best I can tell his only "crimes" were January 6th related - voting to impeach Trump, and voting to have a commission investigate January 6th. He even supported The Big Lie, voting against certification of the 2020 election. Do any of you have issues with other policy stances he has taken during his career, aside from the 2nd impeachment & January 6th?

That said, this was the first race where Trump had an endorsed challenger up against a House incumbent who voted for impeachment and he handily won, with Rice not even managing to keep his opponent under 50%+1 and force a runoff. Perhaps we've learned you can cross Trump but you can't be ANTI-Trump, at least not in a safely red district. Kemp & Raffensperger in Georgia, as well as Nancy Mace further down the SC coast in a less-red district would seem to fall in the crossed Trump but not anti-Trump category, and they all defeated their Trump endorsed challengers without need of a runoff. If the Rice example holds, certainly doesn't bode well for Liz Cheney in Wyoming who I think we all expect to lose her seat in the primary.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the other House members who voted to impeach (of the original 10, 4 are not running again) -

Tom Rice (SC 7th, R+26) - lost primary to Trump-backed Russell Fry

Jamie Herrera Butler (Washington 3rd, R+11) - primary on 8/2, Trump backs Joe Kent
Dan Newhouse (Washington 4th, R+26) - primary on 8/2, Trump backs Loren Culp
Peter Meijer (Michigan 3rd, D+3) - primary on 8/2, Trump backs John Gibbs
Liz Cheney (Wyoming AL, R+50) - primary on 8/16, Trump backs Harriet Hageman

David Valadao (California 22nd, D+10) - advanced to general election by finishing in top 2, no Trump-backed challenger

I'm voting Meijer out. He's been bad on more than the impeachment btw. Across the board bad. I'm thinking his challenger will win. Yeah, GR is bluer then what it was but the R areas are Trump country & we all feel betrayed by Meijer in more than impeachment so Meijer will go down in the primary.

They're saying Meijer's in trouble. :)

The Wyoming primary is August 16. Barely 3 weeks away.

Everything I’m hearing suggests that she will lose by 20, 30 points. Maybe more. I’ll be very impressed if she can clear 40% of the primary vote.
