Democrats need more than ‘We’re better than awful’
The McDonough County Voice
Fourteen of Illinois’ 18 Members of Congress voted to impeach President Trump Wednesday, including Republican Adam Kinzinger of Channahon. Four other GOPers – Mike Bost, Rodney Davis, Mary Miller and Darin LaHood voted with Trump.
Kinzinger and nine other Republicans made it a bipartisan effort, but the 232-197 tally underscored how the action was driven by Democrats.

Rep. Tom Reed (R-Corning) denounced plans circulating online calling for armed protests at state capitols and the U.S. Capitol, beginning this weekend.
“Now is not the time for further violence. Now is the time for (Trump) supporters, who are very angry, to not commit any additional violence, to remain peaceful and not ‘take to the streets’,” Reed said in a Wednesday press call.

Florida Republican reacts to mainstream media host s unapologetic criticism on Hannity
EXCLUSIVE 2020 Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell, a U.S. Army combat veteran, blasted CNN’s Jake Tapper recent comments about Rep. Brian Mast, R-Fla., as below the belt and a slap in the face to veterans from someone who bills himself as one of their closest allies. Obviously I’m disappointed in Jake Tapper’s comments about Brian because a part, not a small part, of Tapper’s public profile is his supposed, steadfast support of our nation’s veterans, right? For a moment, albeit a brief one, the mask came completely off, Parnell told Fox News.
