Rep. Zoe Lofgren releases massive social media report on GOP colleagues who voted to overturn the election

San Jose Mercury News March 5, 2021

Zoe and I first met in high school more than 50 year ago. When we worked together on Capitol Hill 1972, I used to say, "Zoe is one of the smartest people I ever have known.” She still is. Here’s a thumbnail sketch of what she did last week.

Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren has quietly posted a nearly 2,000-page report documenting social media posts by her Republican colleagues who voted against certifying results of the presidential election on January 6. The information compiled isn’t secret, but the report is another sign of the deep distrust that has settled into the US Capitol in the weeks since the insurrection.

The report chronicles the social media activity of members on public forums immediately before the November election and right after the January 6 riot. The report has been online for a week.

I took this photo of Zoe in 1972. She was leaving Washington, D.C. and about to enter Santa Clara Law School.
