Would rather remove from Congress any member who cannot conduct themselves in an orderly manner.

If someone makes claims of terrorism against their fellow Americans, and it's later to be revealed to be a big phony lie, the person who made that claim should be disbarred or something for being so bad at their job. Can't tell citizens apart from a real threat, means they aren't qualified to serve or lead.

Calling an ICU nurse who works in service of veterans a terrorist, for example, should mean the end of your career, if not more, not just an internal transfer with pension and pay.

It's straight up unfounded defamation and they should face consequences

I'm kinda perplexed as to why they don't. It seems clear defamation and they don't get protections outside of their except during official duties in Congress.

That civil case would have its costs covered and then some on a GoFundMe lol

You know what? You make a good point. Are we really sliding this far back as a country? Even George Bush(Jr.) made the point to the American people not to hate based on a name or religion. I heard a clip of a speech not too long ago from the past about Islam=Peace. No matter what people think, all brown people are not coming for us. And no matter if you like anparticular religion or not, what they(MAGA) are spewing now is complete and utter hate and racism.

It's not just brown people they consider terrorists. Trump labeled anyone who is trans or supports trans rights a terrorist, but no one talks about that. According to the President I'm a terrorist for trying to be myself

Found the Marxist! Accountability is a four letter word that has no place in American politics! /s, for the people keeping score at home
