In what seems to be a desperate bid for attention, Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) is gaining a second Earl Landgrebe nomination on basically the same subject as the first one – expungements:
FIRST ON FOX: House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and more than two dozen of her colleagues are supporting a resolution to “expunge” former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment – as pro-Trump Republicans push to rally voters ahead of the midterms.
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., is leading the resolution, which would apply to Trump’s 2021 impeachment in the wake of the attack on the Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters. It’s similar to a previous resolution Mullin introduced on Trump’s first impeachment, which concerned him allegedly withholding military aid from Ukraine in exchange for political favors.
The Daily Beast first reported on the existence of the more recent resolution. But the support for it by Stefanik and other Republicans, including House GOP Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson, R-La., was not revealed until Wednesday. And although it will not pass the Democrat-controlled House, it underscores Republicans’ continued support for Trump nearly 16 months after he left office. [Fox News]
The prior nomination was for Rep Mullin’s sordid attempt to expunge the record of Trump’s first impeachment.
And is this an example of his continued support for Trump? Steve Benen remarks:
… Mullin — who also happens to be a U.S. Senate candidate in Oklahoma — …
There’s one real clue: a kid desperate for the attention of Daddy. And who else is in the race to replace the retired Senator Inhofe (R-OK)? Why, former Trump EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt (R-OK), he who was chased from government with so many scandals nipping at his heels that I lost count! An embarrassment to the nation and to Trump, and at least the latter didn’t acknowledge it.
So Mullin’s feeling worried, eh? Let’s all scream for Daddy now!
