Expel Eastman website launches
A website called "Expel Eastman" has been launched, serving as a focal point for the effort that seeks Eastman's from the Alaska State House.
An online petition was launched in October seeking signatures to expel Alaska Representative David Eastman, R-Wasilla, from the Alaska State House. The petition appeared online just days after leaked membership information showed Eastman to be a member of the far-right, militant organization Oath Keepers. Rep. Eastman confirmed his membership with the group and told the Anchorage Daily News that he considered himself a proud member.
"Representative David Eastman of the Alaska State House is a current member of Oath Keepers, an anti-government militia which advocates for the overthrow by force or violence of the government of the United States; therefore, he is not qualified to serve in the legislature," the online petition states.
Now, a website called "Expel Eastman" has launched, serving as a focal point for the effort that seeks Eastman's expulsion from the Alaska State House. The website doesn't specify what might come next in its attempt to expel Rep. Eastman but is collecting email addresses for those who wish to be involved in any potential future endeavor.
The website contains several news articles about the Alaska Representative who, back in September, wrote a tweet comparing a quote from President Joe Biden's speech to one of Adolf Hitler's. Eastman's tweet included a link to a Holocaust denial website run by Carolyn Yeager that gives examples of Holocaust denial.
Eastman also attended a rally in Washington D.C., on January 6 that led to the violent storming of the Capitol.
