A petition is circulating calling for Sen. Ted Cruz to be disbarred for his objections to certifying President-elect Joe Biden's win, which many believe contributed to the violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.
More than 9,000 lawyers and law students have signed a petition calling for the disbarment of Cruz and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who joined Cruz in objecting to the certification of the election results. Cruz and Hawley continued with their objections even after a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, forcing representatives to evacuate and causing 5 deaths, including the death of a Capitol police officer.
