Did Barry Loudermilk’s actions indirectly contribute to the death of a constituent?

RawStory reports the Kennesaw, GA woman trampled to death during the Trump Insurrection on January 6 was Rosanne Boyland, 34. She was among four Trump supporters who died Wednesday inside the Capitol while violently attempting to disrupt the certification of Joe Biden’s win.

Boyland’s family blames the president, as reported by WGCL-TV.

Friends and family say Boyland had become consumed with QAnon conspiracy theories and hatred for Biden, and they lamented they’d been unable to stop her from going to Washington or obsessing about online conspiracies.

I’ve never tried to be a political person but it’s my own personal belief that the president’s words incited a riot that killed four of his biggest fans last night and I believe that we should invoke the 25th amendment at this time.

Although Donald Trump is chiefly responsible for weaponizing supporters in an attempt to subvert the will of the voters, Representative Barry Loudermilk, Boyland’s elected representative, deserves equal condemnation for the seditious role he played in the failed coup attempt on January 6. Loudermilk’s vote to stop certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election, even after violence broke out, was a dangerous and destructive act. 

If it’s true that Rep. Loudermilk does “not have full confidence that the Georgia electors truly represent the voters of Georgia” then he should resign immediately.
