Every member of the Senate takes a sacred oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Upholding that oath is a matter of conscience.

The behavior of President Trump and Senators Hawley and Cruz culminating in the assault on the seat of our democracy shocks that conscience. Any Senator exhorting such an assault violates their sworn oath and is unworthy of holding federal office.

There must be consequences for senators who would foment a violent mob for personal gain. I call on Senators Hawley and Cruz to resign and accept the responsibility which they so clearly bear.

Thank you, Senator Wyden. They *must* be held to account. If we do not hold people accountable for sedition and treason, then what are we doing here?

They need to be impeached too

I support this opinion. They must resign.

What can be done to get rid of them if they don't voluntarily resign? Because it seems unlikely that they would? Thanks for speaking up about this!
