Ohio Republicans draft articles of impeachment against GOP governor Mike DeWine over COVID-19 orders

Blaze: A handful of Republican Ohio state lawmakers have signed on to legislation calling for the impeachment of GOP Gov. Mike DeWine, saying he violated the law and stomped on citizens’ civil liberties with his executive orders aimed at stemming the spread of COVID-19.

Cleveland.com reported Monday that state Rep. John Becker (R) introduced a resolution containing 10 articles of impeachment against DeWine, claiming the governor — among other things — “violated the separation of powers by having the Ohio Department of Health issue orders outside the scope of its authority that are ‘tantamount to creating new laws.'” more

  1. DeWine is just like the rest of the political hacks (both R and D) infesting many governor’s mansions across the US. He talks a good game, but is MIA on following up on his declarations. They let a little power go to their heads such that they think they are gods who the masses must obey. They see themselves as royalty that can’t be questioned rather than elected “public servants” that take an oath to follow the Constitution and do what’s best for the people they supposedly serve.

    If there is anything good to come out of this COVID-19 crap it is that people should be awakened to the tyrannical tendencies of their own government at every level, and make sure that we never, ever buckle under to these tin-pot, wannabe dictators again. The Constitution and Christian morality must remain in effect regardless of the jerks that are elected to public office since they they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution which is undeniably founded on Christian principles.

    Viruses do what they do – they always have and they always will regardless of the ineffectual mask mandates, quarantines of healthy people, etc. They all follow the same curve of a spike in infections followed by a drastic and definitive drop off until it “burns itself out” through herd immunity. All evidence proves that the danger from this virus is more of a political nature than a medical one for most people. Protect the most vulnerable (elderly and others with exacerbating medical conditions) and let the healthy live their lives.

    And DeWine honestly looks like he is 150 years old.

  2. Current events could prove to be a watershed event for Democrats… if it were not for establishment Republicans running in to save them. Establishment Republicans are absolute filth.

    Look at the double dealing that Ryan did to dry shave the Constitutional conservatives with Obamacare during Trump’s first two years if you doubt me. They are progressives, closet progressives, but progressives none the less. Progressives are progressives first, last and always.

  3. There are faster and surer ways to get rid of him than impeachment.

    Impeachment of a governor is a lengthy and time consuming process process and usually is just grandstanding for political purposes while it is almost certain to fail.

  4. Yeah, I get nothing will come of it – but I am glad those folks took a stand. They will pay for it by the muck-mired swamp that is Columbus, Ohio and they know it. Only familiar with Vitale – but he’s a rock-ribbed conservative if ever there was one.

    DeWine is a RINO, always has been. I voted for him in the governor’s race the first time. Would love to see him primaried, but even if he’s the pick next time, I will sit that election out. He’s another one that’s dead to me.

    It’s amazing what a little bit of power and time in the limelight can do to a person.

  5. …DeWine is on the tyrant side of history, and knows it. That’s why he wants to pass “Pink Flag” laws that say that, for example, if someone sees that you made a comment about guillotining a RINO Republican political figure, it is taken as a sign that you may be violently unstable so the police can come to your house and put you into an invoulentary 72 hour commit, and take all the guns out of the house just to make sure everything’s safe and all, and you will be questioned by a Government psychologist to see if you’re a violent mental or not, the same sort of brainpeeper that says your children should be taken away if you don’t immediately agree to cut your 4 year old son’s penis off becasue he tried one of your wife’s shoes on, but I’m SURE he isn’t biased or anything even though he works for the same State that committed you, but you SHOULD get out once you swear you’ll never say anything bad about Dewine…I mean, politicians…again, only to find out that your house was burned down by BLM rioters because the media doxxed you and told everyone your family was disarmed and you lost your job for 3 days of no call, no show, plus THEY heard you’re unstable too and you may have some difficulty getting another job or even finding your family, but you CAN ask the Government to give your guns back if you ever get a job and a house again and they’ll get right ON it, sometime in the next few years or so…

    “As a citizen of the state of Ohio, I have one question:

    Who do I make my check out to, to rid Ohio of this tyrant BoxWine?”

    The gun store.

    See the Declaration of Independence and Second Amendment for further details…

  7. D-Whine is Kasich light.
    He the “old” guard of Ohio politics.
    Never had a job outside government.
    He professes he likes the Ohio Business community, yet watches them shut down, one by one due to his illegal mandates.

  8. I think anyone who runs for office as a Republican or Democrat who then aligns himself with the opposite party should be removed from office immediately and a new election should take place.
    Obviously, if the citizens voted for a Republican, they wanted a Republican. In my opinion Rinos have committed a crime against the citizens who voted them into office. This is done for one reason only, and that is to steal another seat.

  9. You’d think the national GOP would get involved with this.

    Or not. What a scummy party. Don’t give them a dime – EVER. Give to Trump’s campaign ONLY: let him dole out the money.
