Wrong answer.
Both of these men need to be reminded that they are REPRESENTATIVES of the people and that Trump should be present at the last step of the civil Peaceful Transfer of Power. Presence by the outgoing president is an important show of respect for the office of the presidency and the acknowledgement of a free election.

Twitter permanently suspends Trump's accounthttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55597840
Twitter said the decision was made "after close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them".
Mr Trump had earlier been locked out of his account for 12 hours.
It comes after Mr Trump tweeted several messages on Wednesday, calling the people who stormed the US Capitol "patriots".
On Thursday, Facebook said it had suspended Mr Trump "indefinitely". The popular gaming platform Twitch also placed an indefinite ban on the outgoing president's channel, which he has used for rally broadcasts. So has Snapchat.
Earlier on Friday, the company permanently banned two Trump loyalists: former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Sidney Powell.

'Trump was raging because the poor white trash mob made him look bad. Melania was arranging porcelain for a photoshoot': White House insider gives a vivid account of the 'final hours of a deranged president in his bunker'https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-insider.html
Yet it was not the mayhem and violence that caused Trump to roar in fury – not the dead bodies, including a Capitol police officer who died from a massive brain bleed after being struck in the head with a fire extinguisher.
Far from it. As a White House source told The Mail on Sunday last night, Trump was ‘apoplectic’ in embarrassment because the ‘white trash’ mob on screen made him look bad.
‘He was angry, not at the appalling crimes they were committing, but because he felt embarrassed,’ said the source. ‘When they first stormed the Capitol he was enjoying it. These were “his people”.
‘But when he saw pictures of the half-naked guy in the fur hat he started complaining they looked “cheap and poor”.
‘Even at one of the worst moments in American history he was thinking about his image. He didn’t grasp the scale of the disaster.’

Impeachment looms for ‘unhinged president’ on Mondayhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b1785040.html
On Monday, Democrats will introduce legislation seeking to impeach the president, California Rep. Ted Lieu confirmed on Saturday.
In a tweet, Mr Lieu, who played a role in seeing the president impeached by the House for the first time in December 2019, said 180 co-sponsors had signed on to a new article of impeachment against Mr Trump for inciting Wednesday’s “violent insurrection”.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she hopes Mr Trump will resign from his role before Democrats are forced to act. In the meantime, she has pushed for the “unhinged president” to be stripped of access to the US’s nuclear codes.

Trump National stripped of 2022 US PGA Championshiphttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/55615022
Donald Trump, who owns the course, has been accused by Democrats and some Republicans of encouraging last Wednesday's riot in Congress.
"It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand and would put at risk the PGA's ability to deliver our many programmes and sustain the longevity of our mission," said PGA of America President Jim Richerson. It was a decision made to ensure the PGA of America and PGA professionals can continue to lead and grow our game for decades to come."
The course in New Jersey, one of 17 courses around the world owned by Trump, was due to host the major in May 2022. A representative for the Trump Organization said they were "incredibly disappointed" with the decision.

I am not a fan of censorship unless it is inciting violence or in some way commits a crime. It is a slippery slope.
The best way for these massive platforms to handle incendiary or criminal communication may be to have oversight outside of the company.
