Late Tuesday, Congress voted 222-208 with only two Republicans joining their Democratic colleagues to hold Trump’s former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress. This comes after weeks of Meadows’ cowardice, pretend cooperation, and obfuscation of the Jan. 6 committee’s work to uncover what exactly happened and who knew what and when concerning the attempted coup d’etat at our nation’s Capitol building at the beginning of 2021.
