Trump’s call to “terminate” parts of Constitution – By Jacob Knutson (Axios) / Dec 7, 2022
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday posted, then deleted, a tweet stating he supported former President Trump’s call to terminate parts of the U.S. Constitution over baseless claims of election fraud.
Why it matters: The tweet, which included a screenshot of Trump’s original social media post calling for termination of parts of the Constitution, was posted on Gosar’s official House Twitter account, not his personal account.
- Gosar won re-election to the House in November. As a representative, he was required to swear an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
- Trump has received widespread condemnation for the post, including from several influential GOP lawmakers and figures.
