House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (N.Y.) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) launched an effort to expunge Trump’s impeachments on Thursday, unveiling two resolutions that would discard the disciplines. Greene is the sponsor of the measure targeting Trump’s first impeachment, and Stefanik’s name is on the second one.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is throwing his weight behind the conservative effort to expunge the two impeachments of former President Trump, saying Trump’s behavior didn’t rise to a level that merited either punishment and he’d like to eradicate both votes from history.
The Hill
I'd like to eradicate Trump's presidency from history. How about that?
[H]e supports erasing the pair of impeachments because, he argued, one “was not based on true facts” and the other was “on the basis of no due process.”
No due process?
Immediately following the Capitol rampage, McCarthy went to the floor and said Trump bore “responsibility” for the violence, which was carried out by Trump supporters trying to block the certification of his 2020 election defeat.
When it became clear that the GOP was sticking behind Trump, McCarthy quickly reversed course, visiting Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few weeks later. He would go on to say that Trump did not “provoke” the riot, and would then orchestrate the expulsion of then-Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) from GOP leadership for her refusal to indulge Trump’s lies about his election defeat.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
