Refuse to swear in the socialists

The question is, do any of the R's have the requisite huevos to do this?

A little-known congressional maneuver could block members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) from being sworn in as members of the House of Representatives next year, even if they win their elections on Tuesday.
Members-elect must swear an oath to uphold the Constitution before they can become full members of the House. At the beginning of a new Congress, that oath is typically taken en masse by all 435 members, led by the House speaker.
But an argument circulating in conservative circles posits that any member-elect can challenge another member-elect's right to be sworn in, provided they have compiled evidence that that person would not uphold their oath. That would then lead to House-wide deliberations followed by a vote on whether that member-elect has a right to be sworn in.
In the case of DSA members, one potential argument could be the group's platform calling to scrap the current U.S. Constitution and draft a new one. Several DSA members and self-proclaimed democratic socialists have already won primaries across the country.

They won. Too late. Blame those that sat at home or voted for them.

This would backfire dramatically

If they did this they'd get their asses kicked even harder in '28.

Only thing they capable of now is naming a post office.

I think if they say they swear there’s nothing you can do.

They have to swear to uphold the constitution. If they're honest, they'll be unwilling to do that.

Winners make the rules

Since when do we think Dems have a shred of honesty?

Nobody is looking to scrap the constitution, and honestly that argument isn't one that Republicans want to get into when Trump has repeatedly talked/joked about defying the constitution. (ex.Running for a third term, birthright citizenship)
This reeks of desperation

Or blame the candidates. Max miller, Cindy, Ken Paxton just three off the top of my head oh and Lindsay grahams sister. Never saw Cindy but Scott was all over. Met him twice and both times he had ( assuming advisor) writing every question and concern down.

You would think that the lessons learned via these midterm elections would end this Trump style bullshite.

This is the part of the plan that wouldn’t work

We’ve let a cadre of incompetents take over the GOP, because the one test now is sucking up to a belligerent narcissist. Because of that, even socialists are capable of beating our candidates. And the solution is to not seat them?

Lol socialism is the new boogie man. I thought we’re against Communism and Marxism, but now we’ve lumped Socialism into that same category.
Repubs better adapt or die.
This ain’t your Adam Smith Capitalism anymore baby.
