Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. should be placed on the TSA “no fly” list, for their part in challenging the Electoral College, said the House Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security.

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, made the remarks Monday on the Joe Madison radio show on Sirius XM.

“There’s no question about it,” Thompson said, and added that further charges and expulsion from Congress should also occur.

The remarks were first reported in The Washington Times.

Cruz is a popular figure in Alaska, winning the most votes in the 2020 Republican presidential preference poll, and having the most delegates from Alaska at the 2016 Republican National Convention. He has traveled to Alaska numerous times to campaign for Sen. Dan Sullivan, and crisscrossed the state with Sullivan this past summer.
