The votes, triggered by representatives objecting to the electoral results from Arizona and Pennsylvania, occurred hours after rioters supporting incumbent president Donald Trump stormed the Capitol building to disrupt the vote. The term, referring to a Congressional caucus, does not refer to a formal group. Rather, it implies that the members of Congress who voted to object are in favor of or guilty of sedition, and had a direct or indirect role in the Capitol storming.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}} It originated with the media, and has been used by political opponents of the Republicans, but also by scholars.

While the term was originally used to describe members of Congress who voted against the certification of the electoral vote in the 2020 presidential election, its use has since become somewhat broader (but still related to the aftermath of the 2021 Capitol attack). For example, it was used to describe the senators who voted "not guilty" in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump.

Origins and use

= Historical context =

Before the Electoral College certification vote, Donald Trump had attempted to overturn the results of the election for two months, promoting the Stop the Steal conspiracy theory that he had won, and filing dozens of lawsuits at the state level that were ruled against or dismissed. On December 2, 2020, Politico reported that Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama was planning to object to the counting of the electoral votes from several states won by Biden.{{Cite web |url=https://www.politico.com/newsletters/huddle/2020/12/02/the-gops-electoral-mischief-491033 |title=The GOP's electoral mischief |date=December 2, 2020 |last=Zanona |first=Melanie |website=Politico |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125002212/https://www.politico.com/newsletters/huddle/2020/12/02/the-gops-electoral-mischief-491033 |url-status=live }} On December 30, 2020, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri became the first senator to announce he would object to the vote certification, meaning the objection would need to be considered by Congress.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/gop-senator-object-electoral-college-results-forcing-congress-vote-overturning-n1252546 |title=GOP senator to object to Electoral College results, forcing Congress to vote on overturning Biden's win |date=December 30, 2020 |last=Gregorian |first=Dareh |website=NBC News |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110185400/https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/gop-senator-object-electoral-college-results-forcing-congress-vote-overturning-n1252546 |url-status=live }}

Several Republican members of Congress who previously stated that they would object, including Senator Kelly Loeffler of Georgia, who had announced her intention to object at a campaign rally with Trump, chose not to do so following the Capitol riot.{{Cite news |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/2021/01/06/954251826/some-republican-senators-begin-to-walk-back-objections-to-election-results |title=Some Republican Senators Walk Back Objections To Election Results |date=January 6, 2021 |last=Parks |first=Miles |website=NPR |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122221832/https://www.npr.org/sections/congress-electoral-college-tally-live-updates/2021/01/06/954251826/some-republican-senators-begin-to-walk-back-objections-to-election-results |url-status=live }}

In April, Representative Liz Cheney, a Republican who did not vote to object to Biden's win, said she was considering a presidential run. She also indicated a belief that such objecting should be seen as "disqualifying" other presumptive Republican nominees, "particularly the senators who led the unconstitutional charge".{{cite web |url=https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/26/rep-cheney-presidential-run-484622 |date=April 26, 2021 |title=Rep.

== Media and emergence of the term ==

Even before the Capitol riot, some political commentators began using the term "Sedition Caucus". One of the earliest known uses of the term is from an Orlando Sentinel editorial on December 31, which noted that "about a dozen senators declared they're joining what's disparagingly being called the Sedition Caucus to overturn the election, despite Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's warnings against such a move."{{Cite web |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/editorials/os-op-florida-republicans-congress-january-6-electors-20201231-3x5vqaavqbg5fiqh6crkryihby-story.html |title=Florida's Republicans in Congress: A national embarrassment, a danger to democracy |date=December 31, 2020 |website=The Orlando Sentinel |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127122922/https://www.orlandosentinel.com/opinion/editorials/os-op-florida-republicans-congress-january-6-electors-20201231-3x5vqaavqbg5fiqh6crkryihby-story.html |url-status=live }} Another early use of the term is by CNN host Jake Tapper on January 3, who said "Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska slammed Hawley and others of the Sedition Caucus saying, 'adults don't point a loaded gun at the legitimate government.'"{{Cite web |url=https://www.rawstory.com/trump-sedition/ |title=CNN's Tapper rips 12-GOP senator 'sedition caucus' for election overthrow plot |date=January 3, 2021 |last=Boggioni |first=Tom |website=The Raw Story |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 7, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210107011030/https://www.rawstory.com/trump-sedition/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |url=https://www.newsweek.com/traitors-patriots-cnn-host-calls-gop-senators-election-challenge-disgraceful-effort-1558563 |title='Traitors and Patriots': CNN Host Calls GOP Senators' Election Challenge a 'Disgraceful Effort' |date=January 3, 2021 |last=Fearnow |first=Benjamin |website=Newsweek |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122160225/https://www.newsweek.com/traitors-patriots-cnn-host-calls-gop-senators-election-challenge-disgraceful-effort-1558563 |url-status=live }} The next day, The Atlantic published a column by Tom Nichols where he used the term, referencing Tapper.{{Cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/what-republicans-are-doing-worse-treason/617538/ |title=Worse Than Treason |date=January 4, 2021 |last=Nichols |first=Tom |author-link=Tom Nichols (academic) |website=The Atlantic |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 22, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210122060451/https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/what-republicans-are-doing-worse-treason/617538/ |url-status=live }} In a January 5 column entitled "A really bad day for the 'Sedition Caucus'", political columnist Jennifer Rubin used the term to refer to the group of senators, calling them "the 'Sedition Caucus' {{mdash}} or the 'Dirty Dozen', if you prefer."{{efn|At the time, twelve senators had announced they would object to the certification. Kelly Loeffler also announced she would object, leading Rubin to call the group the "Dirty Baker's Dozen". However, following the storming of the U.S. Capitol, several of these Republican senators dropped their objections, leading only six to object to Arizona and seven to object to Pennsylvania. Rubin then referred to the six who objected to Arizona as the "Dirty Half Dozen".}}{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/05/really-bad-day-dirty-dozen/ |date=January 5, 2021 |title=A really bad day for the 'Sedition Caucus' |last=Rubin |first=Jennifer |author-link=Jennifer Rubin (columnist) |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=January 23, 2021 |archive-date=January 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210113051507/https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/05/really-bad-day-dirty-dozen/ |url-status=live }}

Use of the term is highly critical. Conservative columnist Max Boot compared Sedition Caucus members to Senator Joseph McCarthy and he argued that they should similarly "see their careers crash and burn".{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/06/trump-is-guilty-sedition-impeach-him-again/ |title=Trump is guilty of sedition.

== Political opponents ==

In February, a Democratic super PAC called the Sedition Caucus PAC was formed to pursue negative campaigning against House Republicans in swing districts.{{Cite web |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/537584-new-democratic-super-pac-to-target-swing-district-republicans-over-vote-to |title=New Democratic super PAC to target swing-district Republicans over vote to overturn election |date=February 5, 2021 |last=Axelrod |first=Tal |website=The Hill |access-date=February 17, 2021}}

In June 2021, Democratic U.S. Representative Gerry Connolly used the term, saying he thought McCarthy "would probably appoint people from the Sedition Caucus" to a proposed January 6 commission.{{cite web |url=https://thehill.com/homenews/house/556797-democrats-debate-shape-of-new-jan-6-probe |title=Democrats debate shape of new Jan. 6 probe |date=June 4, 2021 |last1=Lillis |first1=Mike |last2=Wong |first2=Scott |website=The Hill |access-date=June 11, 2021}}

== Scholars ==

Scholars have also used the term when analyzing the objections of these Republicans as a norm-breaking political phenomenon. Political scientist Sarah Binder noted that the majority of Sedition Caucus members come from very red districts, while Republicans in swing districts mostly voted against the objection.{{Cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/11/violent-mob-overran-congress-3-takeaways-weeks-ahead/ |title=A violent mob overran Congress. 3 takeaways for the weeks ahead. |date=January 11, 2021 |last=Binder |first=Sarah |author-link=Sarah Binder |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-date=January 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126111610/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/11/violent-mob-overran-congress-3-takeaways-weeks-ahead/ |url-status=live }} Binder also noted a divide between Senate Republican leadership, which overwhelmingly voted against the objection, and House Republican leadership, which overwhelmingly voted in favor of it, arguing that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy "led the Sedition Caucus" and attracted Republican votes to object.

Political scientist Hans Noel said he believed the Sedition Caucus and their "progenitors" come from a common strain of racism, comparing their beliefs to Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, Shelby County v. Holder, poll taxes, literacy tests, and white primaries.{{Cite web |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/even-now-republicans-will-stick-together/617803/ |title=Republicans Can Agree to Disagree Over Democracy |date=January 25, 2021 |last=Noel |first=Hans |author-link=Hans Noel |website=The Atlantic |access-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-date=February 4, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204055838/https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/even-now-republicans-will-stick-together/617803/ |url-status=live }} Michael Latner, a political scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists, argued that the Sedition Caucus showed the need for legislation aimed at curbing political power, such as the For the People Act and a renewal of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, as well as additional political parties and different voting systems.{{Cite web |url=https://blog.ucsusa.org/michael-latner/how-to-quarantine-a-political-virus-stopping-the-sedition-caucus-by-improving-democracy |title=How to Quarantine a Political Virus: Stopping the Sedition Caucus by Improving Democracy |date=January 12, 2021 |last=Latner |first=Michael |website=Union of Concerned Scientists |access-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-date=January 28, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128225123/https://blog.ucsusa.org/michael-latner/how-to-quarantine-a-political-virus-stopping-the-sedition-caucus-by-improving-democracy |url-status=live }}

Effect on political donations

{{Further|List of companies that halted U.S. political contributions in January 2021}}

The public outcry reduced some donors' willingness to fund Republican candidates associated with the Sedition Caucus.

On January 11, several major corporations pulled political funding for candidates who objected to Biden's victory.{{Cite news |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-11/dow-marriott-lead-boardroom-backlash-on-congress-vote-objectors |title=GOP Lawmakers Hit by Boardroom Backlash for Bid to Undo Election |date=January 11, 2021 |last1=Korte |first1=Gregory |last2=Allison |first2=Bill |website=Bloomberg News |access-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-date=January 27, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127083836/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-11/dow-marriott-lead-boardroom-backlash-on-congress-vote-objectors |url-status=live }}
