Bergman wrong on Bannon vote
On Thursday at 4:09 p.m., the House of Representatives voted on this question: Recommending that the House of Representatives find Stephen K. Bannon in contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a subpoena duly issued by the Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the United States Capitol.
The resolution passed 229 to 202. Only nine Republicans voted for the resolution. U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman, who claims to be for “law and order,” voted against the resolution. Jack is OK with people not complying with subpoenas issued by a legitimate Congressional committee. Jack doesn’t want the truth about the Jan. 6 insurrection known, because Steve Bannon, who got a Trump pardon, knows who organized the attempted coup and their connections to Jack’s master. Bergman and all but nine Republican House members are just fine with giving a pass to one of the organizers of the attempted overthrow of the electoral college results. The fact that four officers of the law died by suicide and the fact that 140 officers were injured by the mob were not Jack’s concern. The fact that Bannon, the day before, said “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” seems not to arouse Jack’s curiosity as to who planned the insurrection, who financed it, who organized it, and who profited from it. On the day of the attempted putsch, Bergman voted against accepting the electoral results from Pennsylvania and Arizona — on the same day the insurrectionist mob erected a scaffold with a hangman’s noose and called for Vice-President Mike Pence to be hanged.
This is not what we need from the representative from Michigan’s 1st Congressional District. No matter how Bergman tries to sugarcoat it, he’s in league with the insurrectionists when he votes against finding out the facts of Jan. 6.
