    Fascinating.

    Which party will the rioter who actively committed treason against the US be representing?

    Here’s the congressional oath of office:

    “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

    After he swears it, he’ll be asked: “Are you sure? For realizees this time? You don’t have the best track record on defending the Constitution from domestic enemies. Do we need to tell you what that part means?”
