@iuculano As the article says, “cry more, Troy.” #Nehls is all about the pin. Vets are all about #Valor.

@gratefuldread A few more under indictment. Now let’s get the people behind the #coup plotters, #seditionists #insurrectionists #Bannon #Alexander #Meadows #Biggs #Johnson #McConnell (he knew before Mitt told him) #Kushner #Ivanka #Stone #Hawley #RonJohnson #MikeLee #Tubberville #Nehls #Clyde #Giuliani #tfg and a hundred others in the House and Senate #DOJ #FBI

…But it’s not just #Nehls….

Back in May, House Oversight…Chair James #Comer (R) made a comment remarkably similar…. He cited #Trump’s increasingly good poll numbers against #Biden & said…, “the media is looking around, scratching their head, & they’re realizing that the American people are keeping up w/our investigation.”

Judiciary Cmte Chair #JimJordan (R) last year pitched the investigations expressly as an attempt to #influence voters’ 2024 choices:
“That will help frame up the 2024 race….”

#Nehls was asked Wed about what the #House #GOP conference hoped to gain from the #Biden #impeachment inquiry. He was blunt: “All I can say is Donald J. Trump 2024, baby!”

The comment might be dismissed as an impolitic & unintentional one, except that it came just a week after… (when) Speaking to USA Today, Nehls said that after #Trump’s two impeachments, he wanted to give the former president “a little bit of ammo to fire back” — to be able to say that Biden, too, had been impeached.

The #Trump era has exacted a toll on political norms. High on the list is this one: #Republicans now tie decisions that are supposed to be about sober-minded principles — most notably their new #impeachment inquiry of President #Biden — to their own #political advantage. And some of them aren’t particularly shy about it.

Perhaps nobody has been less shy than Rep. Troy #Nehls (R).
