Democrat David Cicilline Tries to Permanently Bar Donald Trump from White House
Wendell Husebø 16 Nov 2022
Democrat Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) on Tuesday circulated a letter to round up support to permanently bar former President Donald Trump from reelection.
Accusing Trump of citing an insurrection, Cicilline cited the Fourteenth Amendment in the Constitution as the basis for which Trump should never again be allowed to govern.
“This language in our Constitution clearly intended to bar insurrectionists from holding high office in the United States,” the letter reads:
Given the proof — demonstrated through the January 6th Committee Hearings, the 2021 impeachment trials, and other reporting — that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection on January 6th with the intention of overturning the lawful 2020 election results, I have drafted legislation that would prevent Donald Trump from holding public office again under the Fourteen Amendment.

Accusing someone of insurrection is all that is needed to deny someone their Constitutional rights. Go figure.
Fascists doing what fascists do.
