‼️@GOP Georgia State Rep. David Clark forcibly removed from the chamber by state troopers on orders of GOP House Speaker Rep. David Ralston after Clark refused to undergo #coronavirus testing.
🔥 Georgia’s @GOP House Speaker Ralston HAMMERED Clark: “I don’t know about y’all but I’ve been to too many funerals—and I’m tired of going to them,” after ordering Clark forcibly removed by state troopers, because the #COVIDIOT refused #coronavirus testing.
This flare-up was the latest infighting among GA @GOP—riven by Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results. #Seditionist Clark signed on to an amicus brief supporting a Texas lawsuit rejected by SCOTUS to overturn Trump’s loss in Georgia and 3 other swing states.🤬
#Georgia GOP House Speaker Ralston was among top #GApol Republicans who refused to support Trump’s seditious efforts to overturn the election results based on meritless accusations of widespread voter “fraud.”🇺🇸

🚨SEDITION: after top DOJ officials threatened to quit in protest of Trump’s plot to oust Acting AG Rosen, Trump pushed @TheJusticeDept to ask the SCOTUS to invalidate @POTUS Biden’s victory.
Yet another attempt by Trump to overturn the election.🤬
Trump pressured DOJ to file a baseless lawsuit in SCOTUS—top DOJ officials, including Bill Barr, refused.
Trump also plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to replace Acting AG Barr and use DOJ’s power to push #Georgia to overturn the election results.🤬
Former Trump admin official: “He wanted us to sue 1 or more of the states directly in the SCOTUS. The pressure got really intense” after SCOTUS dismissed #Texas’ lawsuit. Trump’s lawyer drafted a brief Trump wanted DOJ to file, but officials refused.💥
🚨SEDITION: Trump plotted with Jeffrey Clark—acting head of DOJ’s civil division—to oust & replace Acting AG Rosen & wield DOJ’s power to force #Georgia lawmakers to overturn its election results.
Their resignation pact helped persuade Trump to keep AG Rosen—calculating that a furor over mass resignations at the top of DOJ would eclipse attention on his baseless accusations of voter “fraud.”
IMPEACH TRUMP AGAIN and PROSECUTE HIM CRIMINALLY for #sedition.🤬
😱Trump’s decision not to oust Rosen came only after Rosen and Clark made competing cases to Trump in a bizarre WH meeting that 2 officials compared with an episode of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.”
🔥Dozens of influential @GOP in DC—including former top Trump administration officials—have been quietly lobbying GOP members of Congress to impeach and #ConvictTrump.
Another hurdle: Until this week, there was no nationwide system to tell people where they could get the drugs that take hours to administer via IV infusions. Finding space to separate #coronavirus-infected patients from others is difficult in some centers slammed by the pandemic.
Now, all states must list sites on a federal locator map that have received the #coronavirus monoclonal antibody drugs. The map shows wide distribution, but doesn’t guarantee availability or access; #COVID19 patients still need to check.👇🏼
🚨BREAKING: Great news! Study shows Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine likely just as effective against the highly transmissible B.1.1.7 #coronavirus variant—1st found in the UK.
The study found that ALL mutations in the B.1.1.7 #coronavirus variant were neutralized by antibodies in the blood of 16 people who previously got Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine. Half were aged btwn 18 and 55—the other half were aged between 56 and 85.
Initial tests had shown Pfizer’s #COVID19 vaccine was effective against ONE key mutation in the more contagious #coronavirus variants from the UK and South Africa. This new study shows the vaccine likely to be effective against ALL mutations in B.1.1.7.😃
🚨An @FBI intelligence report warns that “QAnon members have discussed posing as National Guard soldiers, and others have reviewed maps of vulnerable spots in the city — signs of potential efforts to disrupt Wednesday’s #inauguration.
Both “lone wolves” and QAnon #terrorists—some of whom joined in the Capitol siege—have indicated they plan to go to DC for @JoeBiden’s #Inauguration.
The FBI also observed them downloading & sharing MAPS of sensitive sites in DC & discussing how they could interfere in security
‼️FBI: “QAnon members have discussed posing as National Guard soldiers, believing that it would be easy for them to infiltrate secure areas,” adding that the #Seditionists have been **crowdsourcing images to surveil the security perimeter**.
