Today, @HouseJudiciary is holding a hearing on Presidential Obstruction & Other Crimes. These are the words Republicans have demanded us not to use... #CoverUp #WhatsHeHiding pic.twitter.com/7XIint4svb

The bitter irony that this "demand" is for a hearing of the JUDICIARY Committee should not be lost on anyone.
One wonders what other Amendments today's GOP is against. Perhaps it's just the 1st Amendment, though I wouldn't be surprised if they would like to get rid of them all except the 2nd...
Mind you, I suspect Republicans are not against these words at all. In fact, I'd bet lots of cash money that they're actually perfectly okay with ALL of these words -- as long as they're preceded by the phrase "Trump is not..."
I'm a bit surprised the list didn't also include other words to ban, like -- Democrat, Liberal, Journalist, Press, Black, Hispanic, Jew, Rachel Maddow and women.
On the other hand, here is a list of words that today's Republican Party in Congress did not ban --
Collusion
Contempt of Congress
Criminal
Dishonesty
Felon
Financial Misappropriations
Flim-Flam Man
Grifter
Illegal Use of Power
Individual #1
Liar
Misanthrope
Molester
Misuse of Office
Political Rabble-Rouser
Selective Service Deserter
Sexual Assailant
Subpoena
Swindler
Tax Cheat
Traitor
Unlawful Impediment of the Legal Process
White Supremacist
