The GOP continue to demand surrender in the name of "unity"

This makes it starkly clear that @GOP calls for “unity” are just @GOP calls for submission.

The full exchange, via CSPAN:

Jim Jordan calls for unifying the nation, so House Rules chairman Jim McGovern pushes Jordan to accept that Joe Biden won the election "fair and square." Jordan refuses. McGovern condemns Jordan's double standard.

"Unity" is just "surrender." Give us everything we demand.

Or we'll do it again. And we'll keep doing it until you give up.

The only possible reaction that _isn't_ surrender is punishment. Impeachment, removal, bans. #ExpelThemAll - followed by investigations and prosecutions.

It's not a fucking "double standard," it's not "hypocrisy," it's strategy and intent.

And it needs to be treated that way, at every turn, without compromise.

No arguments. Absolutely none.
