There must be a reckoning for those Republicans in Congress and the Senate who spread the lies, stoked the mobs, and participated in the insurrection with their illegitimate objections to the election results. Also, those in state legislatures, the RNC, state and county parties

They must be held to account. They don't get to call for unity and healing in order to avoid just punishment. They don't get to escape
because they serve in powerful positions, or because they were far away in state capitols.

No leniency. No avoidance. No quarter. There must be legal penalties. There must be political consequences.
