Republican Accountability Project Launches Ad Campaign to Get Cruz and Hawley to Resign
The Republican Accountability Project has launched an ad campaign to force Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to resign over their decision to vote against the Electoral College certification after a mob of former President Donald Trumps supporters violently stormed the Capitol in a bid to overturn the results of an election that President Joe Biden won handily.
You lied about the election. The Capitol was attacked, the billboards read.
The billboard campaign cost the group $1 million. The group made headlines earlier this month for announcing it would donate $50 million to reelect any members of the GOP who vote to impeach or convict Trump for inciting the insurrection against Congress. Details about the campaign were first discussed with Politico.
The billboards will be placed in each House members district, as well as in multiple cities in Texas and Missouri targeting Cruz and Hawley, the outlet reported.
It took a lot of players within the Republican party to convince the vast majority of their voters that the election was fraudulent, Longwell added. We are here to be an institutional memory of what happened and who said what.

(19,948 posts)were of no benefit, and that they'd run back to the GOP ? There was a clear bigger picture that they couldn't see, which was that Never Trumpers weren't going back, especially with 74m having voted for a GOP with Trump at the head. We are still early days of a civil war within the Republican Party, and while I have no doubt Never Trumpers would like to be part of some sort of conservative party, it's not going to be this one where they are hated more that anyone else.
If Democrats can get HR1 through and the John Lewis Voting Rights act, it will make a massive difference in future elections. I would go so far as to say that after the Covid Relief Bill, it's the one I would do before an Infrastructure or Immigration Bill. It is that important.
