Attorney Marc Elias has had it over the GOP impeachment circus. Republicans were told by the former President that he wants Biden impeached, and they're doing his bidding, opening an inquiry while offering zero pieces of evidence. South Carolina Republican Ralph Norman said the quiet part out loud on the House floor when he said, "You cannot just not... say you are innocent and not have to prove it."

Elias is not happy.

"May that, you know, if you heard what Ali said before the vote and you heard what Molly said during the vote, there are no moderate Republicans," Elias said. "Like, we need to just stop with the nonsense."

"There are no moderate Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives," he continued. "There are proud MAGA and there are scared MAGA. That's it."

"Two hundred and twenty-one of them," he said. "Every single member of the Republican House, whether they were a proud MAGA or scared MAGA, just voted for a bogus, nonsensical impeachment motion to proceed because they pay fealty to Donald Trump."

"And it is a shameful moment in American history," he continued. "It is a shameful moment for each one of these members. But it is an important moment that every American watching right now should realize that there is nothing other than an authoritarian MAGA movement in the Republican Party."

Elias then let out a warning shot.

"And come next November, those members of Congress, a large number of them are going to lose their seats over this," he added.

Indeed. And that time can't come too soon.
