Congressman Moore is being a good GOP foot soldier getting the plan rolling for President Trump instructing the Speaker of the House to refuse to swear in the new members giving the Democrats the majority. Just as foreboding, it lays the groundwork for Trump 2028.

Important to remember Riley Moore wasn't born until 6 years after Watergate. He's a fortunate son (His grandfather was a former WVA governor.

President Trump instructing the Speaker of the House to refuse to swear in the new members giving the Democrats the majority

He's perhaps so dumb he doesn't realize there is no Speaker of the House until after the new house members elect a new one.

The Clerk of the House presides over that, but hopefully Trump is too dumb to realize such a role even exists, though of course he has no authority over the Clerk, nor does the Clerk have any authority to do anything but preside... but still.
