President Trump plans political punishment for the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach him for last week’s Capitol riot, according to a new report.
Trump summoned aides to brief him on the 10 following the Wednesday afternoon vote, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Trump “wanted to know who the lawmakers were and whether he had ever done anything for them” and “inquired who might run against them when they face re-election in two years,” the Journal reported.
The breakaway Republicans joined all Democrats to impeach Trump on a single count of allegedly inciting an insurrection that disrupted certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
The No. 3 House Republican, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, was among the 10 and is resisting calls from some members of the House Freedom Caucus to resign. She and Trump long clashed on foreign policy and he called for her ouster during a pre-riot speech near the White House that formed the basis for his impeachment.
The other Republicans who voted to impeach Trump were Reps. Tom Rice of South Carolina, John Katko of New York, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, Peter Meijer of Michigan, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Dan Newhouse of Washington, Fred Upton of Michigan, Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington and David Valadao of California.
Trump is expected to remain a powerful figure among Republicans after he leaves office Jan. 20 and could help topple the handful of incumbents. Many other Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), publicly faulted Trump’s actions, but called for a less-severe censure.

Time to get these Republicans who are cowards and not stand with the President to fight for our country. Where the hell where them when Antifa are BLM were burning destroying and shooting on our cities none of them brought charges on Democratic leaders who were supporting their actions what a bunch of cowards.
I knew McCarthy was a SNAKE, just like Paul Ryan, (The Young Guns a/k/a The Young Jerks)
Our election system was broken many years ago and now it was very evident thru this election that I was way too lenient in my thinking.
How can we trust the next election? They've learned how to cheat the system!
I totally agree. The 2020 election was totally rigged with all of the voting stopping in the middle of the night, changes in rules at the last minute and mail-in voting, which was why the left wanted it so much! Even Beijing Biden says so: “We put together the most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization in history." Joe Biden 2020
In Phil counting was stopped with Trump up 300,000. when resumed he was down 400,000. How did they get a700,000 swing when counting was suspended? FRAUD that's how but the gop establishment fears Trump just as much as the devildemocommiecrats do so "move on, nothing to see here"!!!!!
I agree
I don't expect to have another election but if there is it will be a Soviet style just like the one we just had. Stalin said, "it doesn't matter who votes, it only matters who counts the votes" and the deep state will make sure it comes out the way they want it to. TRAITORS are their people and will be kept in office for appearance sake!!!!!
Kick Ass
Voting machine fraud will need to be rectified on a state level. It will not be rectified natonal. I don't believe that my state of South Carolina had any election fraud. We also had a traitor in the House of Representatives, Tom Rice, who I have confidence will be voted out of office in 2022 by the Patriots who live here in SC. We need to become involved in our state and local governments in order to effect change in the future.
