Rep. Rich McCormick's MAGA McCarthyite Madness

Republican Rep. Rich McCormick is pushing his colleagues to pass legislation in the lame-duck session that he says would ban newly elected Democratic socialists from taking office—or from serving in any public office in the U.S.
Republicans engaged in a lot of red-baiting leading into the midterms, with GOP leaders from President Trump on down denouncing Democrats, especially those identifying as Democratic socialists, as communists bent on destroying America. Most voters were clearly unmoved by the MAGA McCarthyism, handing Republicans their worse electoral defeat in more than 50 years and electing a huge and diverse group of Democratic governors, members of Congress, and state and local officials.
The Democratic sweep in Georgia was dramatic; where voters re-elected Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, chose Keisha Lance Bottoms as the nation's first Black woman governor, won every statewide race, and took control of the state house for the first time in more than two decades.
Maybe that's why McCormick, who won re-election in Georgia's 7th Congressional District, has gone so far off the rails. In one of the most melodramatic and anti-democratic post-election messages, McCormick is calling on the lame-duck Republican Congress to pass the Communist Control Act of 2026 he introduced in September, a clearly unconstitutional bill that he claims would stop people defined as communists—including Democratic socialists—from holding any public office in the U.S.
Here's what McCormick says his bill would accomplish if passed and signed by President Donald Trump:
A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SHUTDOWN OF THE COMMUNIST CANCER SPREADING THROUGHOUT OUR NATION.
Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, AOC all removed from office.
Abdul Al-Sayed and his 120,000 comrades in the Democratic Socialists of America PERMANENTLY BARRED from running for office.
The 60+ DSA candidates FOREVER LOCKED OUT from Congress.
HUNDREDS of their comrades BANNED from assuming state and local office.
The Marxist judges will have NO ONE to stop their impeachment and removal.
Deep State bureaucrats will be left to fend for themselves as we clean house.
President Trump will have the CLEAR AND UNDISPUTED AUTHORITY to root out the soapless socialists who have infiltrated every institution of our country…
To get to these claims, readers of McCormick's fundraising pitch have to get through paragraphs of praise for Sean Hannity's "They want to destroy America" rhetoric and spooky prose like this:
The communists hid in the shadows for decades, patiently waiting for the right time to strike.
They infiltrated our schools and colleges…
Our Churches and governments…
Our military and major corporations...
They quietly amassed power, took over the microphones of the mainstream media, brainwashed millions of children, gained billions in cash, and bid their time.
Their time has arrived.
The mask is off and the Democratic Socialists of America are inches away from ushering in a COMMUNIST REVOLUTION….
And they have over 60 (and counting!) new socialists in Congress ready to be the hammer and sickle used to SHRED our Constitution.
McCormick identifies himself as "a veteran of the Global War on Terrorism and America First congressman," and includes a photo of himself in a white t-shirt and leather bomber jacket with the message, "I REFUSE to hand over the nation I almost died to defend to the communist cartel."
The long screed ends with an appeal for donations to McCormick Victory Fund. The box that asks people to make a monthly recurring includes this text:
IF YOUR'RE A CHRISTIAN, STOP SCROLLING: President Trump has labelled the Left's WAR ON CHRISTIANITY as the nation's BIGGEST THREAT since 9/11. HE'S ISSUED A BATTLE CRY FOR ALL BELIEVERS! If you're ready to keep America as one nation UNDER GOD, please KEEP THIS BOX CHECKED!

This pos belongs in a padded cell.
There are millions of Rich McCormicks out there. People who are dreaming about some "coming together" of the American people are fooling themselves.
Funny how these Republican losers don’t even use the word “democracy” anymore, while they claim a need to stamp out communism and socialism. When the democratic process doesn’t work in their favor they are ready to end democracy without a second thought, or even some idea of what to replace it with.
I'm sick of these losers. What he's proposing is unconstitutional but I wouldn't expect a MAGGAT to know that. The MAGGATs on NT don't know the fucking constitution because they all slept walked thru their POD classes
I am so disappointed in the non-response of trump to these midterm election results. I fully expected to be well into triple digits with maga rambos and xtian nationalist domestic terrorists by now. it looks like 1/3/27 or 1/6/27 will be my last chances to help make america great again ...
If Congress passes an anti-fascist bill, he's out.
I don't support democratic socialists any more than I support MAGA. That said they were legally elected and should be seated like any other.
