      Perhaps no House member that Democrats would less like to hear this message from. "Rushing this resolution to the floor will do nothing to unify or heal the country," says @Jim_Jordan at House Rules. "These actions, again, will only continue to divide the nation."

      >@RepMcGovern not having it: "I'm glad that all it took for you to call for unity and for healing was for our freedom and our democracy to be attacked. But for the last several months the gentleman from Ohio and others have given oxygen to the president's conspiracy theories."

      More @RepMcGovern: "We all want healing, but in order to get to healing, we need truth and we need accountability." Notes he was in the Speaker's Lobby and saw the mob trying to rush through the doors. "I saw in their eyes hate and evil."

      More @jim_jordan playing down the Stop the Steal push: "Mr. Chairman, I said Joe Biden won the election, but there were problems with how it was done." McGovern: "People came here, Mr. Jordan, because they believed the lie...this election was not done in a fair & square fashion."

      Jordan tries to equate the Trump/Republican "Stop the Steal" effort with Democratic challenges to Trump's votes on Jan. 6, 2017. McGovern, exasperated, noted he recognized Trump as winner and Clinton had long since conceded.

      >@RepRaskin rebuts: "What did the Democrats do? They put on pink winter hats, marched peacefully with a million people, joined Planned Parenthood, worked...to try to reform America. Nobody was out there agitating for a violent armed insurrection against the government."

          That line sounds a bit like someone making up a lie as the go.
