To the Editor: Ohio Representative Jim Jordan recently called for the House Judiciary Committee to investigate "Cancel Culture." What a great idea! I suggest the first order of business for the probe be the censures of Liz Cheney, Rob Portman, Richard Burr, Ben Sasse and all the other GOP leaders who dared to support impeaching Donald Trump. The most-egregious exile bid involved Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who was recently threatened with expulsion from the party.
Next, the committee should get to the bottom of the practice of removing independent-minded office-holders via primary challenges when they stray from the party line. Examples to dig into include Eric Cantor, Mark Sanford, Bob Corker and Jeff Flake. I suggest the committee call Eric and Donald Trump Jr. as witnesses, as they have both offered to personally work to "cancel" the careers of any GOP Senator or Representative they believe were not sufficiently loyal to their father.
