NEW YORK (AP) — Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer, who witnessed the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection days after taking office and then cast one of the 10 Republican votes to impeach Donald Trump over it, has lost his reelection bid.

Meijer was defeated in a primary Tuesday by Trump-endorsed John Gibbs, a businessman and missionary who served in the Trump administration under Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.

Two Republicans in Washington state who incurred Trump’s wrath by voting for impeachment also went before voters. Races involving Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Dan Newhouse were too early to call Wednesday.

Liz cheney you RINO are next. I’ll support ANYONE Trump supports and oppose ANYONE Trump opposes no questions asked. Greatest president of all time from whom the election was stolen by a senile Chinese spy who showed his true colors by opposing Nancy stock option Pelosi trip to Taiwan

Serves Meijer right for being a traitor to the American people by having voted to impeach our beloved President Donald Trump שליט”א

Some things are more important than reelection.

The Q faction is ascendant. All moral, upstanding and courageous Republicans must fall, and only lackeys of the new deity will be granted nomination. Meijer was bold and honorable. A man of courage. But we at GOPQ despise such men. We want populist lackeys like Goebbles quoting Blake Masters to carry the new banner of our conspiracy-driven populist movement.

The key is we don’t want Trump impeached arrested nor do we want his as president ever again. We just want to move forward.
