Republican Ohio Gov. DeWine targeted with articles of impeachment backed by members of his own party

Republican Ohio state Rep. John Becker has officially filed 12 articles of impeachment against Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
Three other Republican state representatives have joined with Becker.
“Governor DeWine’s mismanagement, malfeasance, misfeasance, abuse of power and other crimes include, but are not limited to, meddling in the conduct of a presidential primary election, arbitrarily closing and placing curfews on certain businesses, while allowing other businesses to remain open," a portion of a press release from Becker's office declares. "He weaponized the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation to bully and harass businesses and the people; to enforce a statewide mask mandate and other controversial measures of dubious 'value,' making Ohio a hostile work environment.”
"Additionally, Governor DeWine had the further audacity to include congregants at places of worship, forcing citizens to choose between worshipping their God and worshipping at the altar of unbridled government," another part of the release states. "Many Ohioans find the controversial mask mandate offensive, degrading, humiliating, and insulting. There is also evidence that masks can be a health hazard by retaining bacteria, viruses, and creating panic attacks and other physiological difficulties. Governor DeWine doubled down when he expanded the mandate to our school-age children, who are less susceptible to COVID-19."
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is in the process of being impeached. The other is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Jim Jordan has badmouthed DeWine up one side and down the other.
DeWine is the kind of Republican you love to hate. He's even outlawed dancing. :whatever:
All that said, impeachment is relatively easy compared to conviction in the Senate, which would be a very tall order. Two-thirds are needed.

You keep shipping millions of degenerates out to the red states, you can afford to take in at least one socialist governor

If it's mainly just about being mask-Hitler and closing stuff down, I don't think it'll produce any real result. It'll come down to a passive voice non-apology 'Mistakes were made' thing at most and the majority will decide it's better just to pretend the whole thing never happened. Though if the Feds try to impose some nationwide BS from DC, there's no telling what might happen.

Impeachment was tried earlier, but DeWIne - a true RINO - has the backing of every DEM in the state legislature, so this will also go nowhere!
DeWIne just vetoed a bill restricting his emergency powers: the veto cannot be overridden, again because the DEMS will support his unconstitutional ukases.
