Letters to the Editor: ‘Kustoff should be expelled from Congress’
U.S. Rep. David Kustoff should be expelled from Congress immediately.
Twice, he attempted to overturn the free and fair elections, and he voted against impeaching Donald Trump even after a violent mob, incited by Trump, attacked the Capitol resulting in five deaths and many injuries.
Kustoff joined with the Texas lawsuit claiming fraud in the elections in four states; there was absolutely no truth to the claim and it was immediately dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Kustoff voted with others to overturn the results of the Electoral College when it was brought to the Congress for certification.
